The one on the face cleared since past 2 days but other parts are yet to dry though not itching again. What will i do to make them dry fast. [/INST] Hi,Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.comThis is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.I understand your concern.Well, chicken pox lesions are generally in many forms present simultaneously in the body. The blisters and pustules mostly cause the pain. It then dries, and then clears off. To fasten the drying do the following-rub calamine lotion as you were doing beforeadd 3ml of potassium permanganate solution to 5litres of warm water and bath with itHope i have answered your question.If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.Regards </s>
