Suggest Treatment For Infected Blisters On The Scalp While Suffering From Chickenpox

Hi good day! I m 21 years old and I m currently having chicken pox. It s all over my body including my back, legs, tummy, face and scalp. Wha ts bothering me the most is that i took a shower yesterday with open blisters in my scalp and now, it s very painful. I don t take any medicine since day one cause my parents told me so. The blisters in my head are turning yellowish. Are they infected? And what should I do to treat it. I hope you can help me. Thank you

yes it can be infection which is very common in case of chicken pox. because the blisters are open and there are high chances of secondary infection. so you have to take some antibiotic for it preferably amoxicillin/ampicillin
