I am suffering from chicken pox and it's been 8 days now. The blisters on my hand have gone completely. But there still many on my face and a few on my scalp. Should I take bath and can I wash my face? Can I consider that my chicken pox is over? Please suggest?

You can definitely have bath and it is wrong concept that you should not take bath when you have pox.
