Guyz, I have chickenpox ! My legs and arms are full of red pimples with some transparent fluid inside. It's itchy as well. How could I get them at my age !? Fuck !
Doc gave me some white goo to cover the pimples. Somekinda chalky stuff. Sad

It's very rare to get chicken pox a second time. So, in a sense, you can consider yourself lucky

Oh you shouldn't worry, it's probably not a chickenpox, but its older brother shingles. Very Happy
If not shingles, it still doesn't have to be chickenpox , could be measles Very Happy

I'm kidding, shit happens, public places are full of people from unvaccinated parts of the globe. You can get easily infected with whatever they have.

Me personally, I always carry with me a small bottle of sanitizer, disinfect my hands regularly when in public. Hell, I still brandish my n95 mask when in hospitals, farmacies or in public transport.

Strange, I have these itchy spots only on arms and below the waste. That's not a typical clinical picture of chickenpox or measles. Btw, I had measles when I was 12. I hope they do not spread to my face and trunk.
Btw, I don't have sex with men nor eat monkeys. Fuck. Sad

If it's the second time you've got chickenpox you're experiencing shingles. It'll be hell for a while. Good luck.

I had adult chickenpox about a decade ago while traveling, it was rough but you just need rest and to eat well even when you really dont feel like eating. The fever was the worst but fever is useless against viral infections so just take paracetamol to lower it and drink plenty of water.

Good luck man and stay in touch with your doctor!

It is a fowl disease...

Also never trust a GP who gives you a white sticky substance

Yeah I had that 2 summers ago, lasted me a good month. It's important to start the treatment in the first 2-3 days.

Thankfully. I got it on my torso and not on my neck and head which is the other usual "variant".

So far so good. Nothing on the trunk and face and it's been 5 days since the first pimples showed up.

very important for you to self isolate and not let anyone touch anything u had contact with.
you're not out of the woods yet until at least 2 weeks has passed.

Thank you for asking. Fortunately it wasn't a full blown Chickenshit. It spread on my arms and under the waste only. Some bluish marks still present but they are slowly fading away.
Chickenpox is way better to have in childhood, later in adulthood makes things much complicated. And the itch btw, it was unbearable !
