I recently got infected with chickenpox. Im in my 5th day now. I take my medications religiously and have not sratched, or done whatever to aggrevate my condition. My question is, why does my pocks slowly turning black but stilll with fluid in them? its not scabs, its the pocks turning black with fluid still inside them. is this normal? or is it signs of scarring?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you are having chicken pox which is highly infectious and communicable.  The symptoms are suggesting me that the rashes are in healing phase. The chickenpox rashes will heal without leaving any scar unless it is infected. The rashes turning black with small amount of fluid is the normal process of healing. The symptoms will come down in 15 days after the appearance of the rash. You can apply calamine lotion which will fasten the healing. Thank you.
