Chicken Pocks :(

[Dippindonut1]

I'm 14 and just got Chicken Pocks yesturday :(. I've got loads of coursework and work to do at school for my exams but I can't go in because of these dam Chicken Pocks. I've also got my work experience on the 12th May and my interview this Wenesday so I'm going to miss that!

It's all over my face, but on the NHS website says it is only infectious for about 5 - 7 days after they appear so I could go in next week however I don't want to go in looking like a right idiot!

Any tips for me?

*pox
and dont scratch them, use moisturiser if they irritate

[Mrs.Lampard]

Dont scratch them :)
Might seem obvious but it is tempting, I've got a little white scar on my leg from chicken pox. Damn things :P

your in year 10 like me?

your only missing 1 test as they end today and its a probably a mock.

[Dippindonut1]

Yeah, at the moment there not itching too much so I'm not picking them.

Yeah, I'm in year 10. But we have just started Coursework in Geography, History, English. I have all the stuff for GCSE Maths Statistics to learn aswell.

The only thing its good for is too get all my ICT work done by Tuesday as I can do it at home. At least that would be one GCSE :)

Well, it is best to get them younger, but I guess that's out of the question!
The best thing to do, is go in one day before they're fully gone, maybe you can catch up, and they won't be visible.
I wouldn't advise using cream, it's better to do it the more natural way and let them stay there until gone.

If you turn into a chicken make sure you dont get killed.

LOLOL My Thomas Wont Turn Into A Chicken (:
Im Going To Make Him Better :D

[:Edzy]

tell everyone you have acne :P

[Samantha.]

Acne Is Still Bad Though :)
Just Use Cream For them And Dont Scratch Them No Matter What :D
And They Will Hopefully Be Gone In No Time

[Neil]

Be glad you have them now and not when you're like 30, unless you don't plan on having children xD

[leah]

wear cream
don't scratch

-gives foundation- ;)

If they're really bothering you use a concealer that matches your skin tone on them and nobody will even know ;)

[Aflux]

Get a 9mm, aim it at your face then fire - quick and easy method to get rid of spots.

[Stacey.]

My sister had them twice.
I had them when I was younger, now I have a few scars, one above my mouth, one on my forehead and some on my legs. So yeah, don't scratch them.

[flatface]

I've never had them seriously and only had them once. *fingers crossed*

[Misawa]

Chicken pox should last for about a week maximum. It's a lot better to get them when you're young, because the adult version - measels - can be fatal.

[JessicaLOL]

get a cream and try not to scratch espically on ya face because youll regret it .. try rubbing the spots instead of scratching if it gets that bad
