Can I take a shower on the third day of having acne?

Patient's question:

Got chickenpox. It's the third day today. There are many chickenpox spots on my body, and also many small red dots. The weather is very hot. I don't know if I can take a bath. I haven't bathed for two days. I'm worried that not bathing might cause other illnesses.

Doctor's answer:

You can take a bath when you have chickenpox. But don't use too hot water. Lukewarm water is also okay. Also, don't use irritating soap. And don't scratch: The best home environment, air conditioning. Don't make it too hot. To avoid skin irritation causing itching, symptomatic treatment. Take antiviral medication. Eat a light diet. Rest at home. It's best not to go out. It's recommended to drink more water during this period. Eat more fruits and vegetables to alleviate the condition.
