Hi doctor, My son who is 28 years old is 6 feet tall and weighs 84 kg. He had an issue of urticaria last year and was under medication. He had a course of antihistamines for a month. About five hours ago, he noticed lesions this morning that was itchy. After bathing, the lesion on back has become red and looks to be popped out. He has got small vesicles around five in numbers in his arm, thighs and back. He had throat pain yesterday, but it has subsided now. He is on medication for GERD and taking Pantosec DSR since 15 days.
Hello. I have attached the pictures (attachments removed to protect identity). Well, is it just a five hour history? Are these vesicles increasing in number? It is looking like chicken pox caused by herpes simplex. Since this disease is in initial stage, I can just make a provision diagnosis not confirmatory diagnosis. It will become clear in two to three days as chicken pox takes two to three days to come full blown. The following are the clinical features of chicken pox: Do not hurry as it is totally curable. Just wait for two days. If it is chicken pox more vesicles will come and later you can start treatment. Treatment is Acyclovir 400 mg five times in a day for 10 days. Revert back after ten days to a dermatologist online -->
