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 already. I'm worried that not bathing might cause other illnesses.

Doctor's answer:

Having chickenpox, you can take a bath, but don't use too hot water. Lukewarm water is also fine. Avoid using irritating soap. Do not scratch: The best home environment is air conditioning, but don't make it too hot to avoid skin irritation causing itching. Symptomatic treatment, take antiviral drugs, light diet, rest at home, and it's best not to go out. It is recommended to drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables during this period to alleviate the condition.
