Illnesses: Post 19-Chicken Pox

Hello everyone! In today's post, I will be talking about Chickenpox. Chickenpox is a HIGHLY contagious virus that causes an itchy, blister-like rash on the skin. Chickenpox is preventable by vaccine and is usually self-treatable and self-diagnosable. There are less than 200,000 cases of Chickenpox in the US in one year. This disease is short term and can resolve itself from a couple days to a week. Lab tests and doctor's diagnoses are rarely required. This disease is most common in newborns to 18-year-olds. Stay healthy and stay in "The Doctor's Office."
