Hi Lybrate user. Chicken pox is very contagious disease. It's secondary attack rate is 85 %. So there is high possibility of get infection in family members. Patient should be kept in isolation atleast for 5 days after appearence of crust. The person who cares the patient should wear a mask. All cloths / towels should be separate. Thank you.

I hope your recovery from chickenpox is progressing well. In general, the decision to resume table tennis after recovery depends on a few factors:
complete recovery:
ensure you have fully recovered from chickenpox. Returning to physical activities too soon can delay healing and increase the risk of complications.
Medical clearance:
obtain medical clearance from your doctor before resuming intense physical activities like table tennis. They can assess your overall health and guide...more

Hello. I went through your query.
Keep the infected area clean and dry. Don't scratch the affected areas because this could spread the infection to other parts of your body
ringworm usually disappear with allopathic creams but recurr after you stop using it. So I advise you to take homeopathic treatment which cure ringworm completely & permanently. No chance of recurrence. 100% cure. You can consult me online for homoeopathic treatment without side effects.

Dear lybrate-user,
we should never apply cream containing steroids on fungal infection for following reasons:
1. It can flare up fungal infection because it reduces local immunity 2. It causes local side effects like skin thinning, stretch marks, white patch etc
you should consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.
Thanks & regards.

Hi,
understand your concern. Shingles/chicken pox are contagious. However, the zoster virus is contagious only in its active stage. It is non- contagious in dormant stage. Almost every person carries it whoever is infected in their life time. It stays dormant and reactivates at times. Thats the time when it is contagious. Else do not worry, it doesnot harm in anyway.
Hope this is clear. For further details, please connect online/in-person.
