Please see your dermatologist as soon as possible.

Staph bacteria can frequently get in to areas of chicken pox and contribute to scarring. Until you see your dermatologist, please apply neosporin ointment to every spot and keep it covered. Try to get in to see a dermatologist immediately. Some have Saturday hours. Most will be closed on Memorial Day, but back open on Tuesday.
