Suggest Remedy For Chickenpox

I had a bartholin cyst or abcess (whichever one can burst) but I did not know I had it until it bursted. It bursted while i was peeing on the toilet. I then researched it because I got scared I had never experienced anything like that before. I felt instant relief as soon as it happened. Now here s where it gets tricky, I caught chicken pox a few days ago so I also have a few tiny blisters down there. I had the chills for about 2 days before this happened that I thought May have been from the CP but I m starting to think maybe it was infected because I read one of the symptoms for an infection is the chills and blood and pus did come out of it along with a whitish orange scab. It s still a little sore down there I m not sure if it s from the burst itself and needs to heal or it s just the blisters from the CP? Also every time I go to the bathroom or wipe a little discharge comes out of a blackish color. Is this normal? Please answer me I cannot see a doctor about it as I m still contagious from the CP. Thank you

Hello and thank you for your question. Bartholin's gland cysts are caused when this gland gets blocked and is a separate problem from the chicken pox, but is hard to know if the pain is from the healing cyst or the chicken pox.
The cyst can ooze fluid, pus and even blood for a while until it heals up. Occasionally these cysts are so large that they have to be surgically opened and drained. If yours has already opened up, then the best thing to do is to use warm compresses and/or soak in warm water to encourage it to completely drain. If it gets blocked again then you may need to see a doctor at some point, but for now just use compresses and soaks to help it drain until it heals up.
If you are having high fevers and a lot of pain around the cyst area (more than you would expect from the chicken pox) then you should see a doctor right away, since you may need antibiotics.
I hope you are over the chicken pox soon.
Thank you for using HCM.
