Chicken pox at adult age may cause lot of sick feeling, fever, itching uneasiness etc. If you don't want to see your doctor for because of appearance hiding inside will also not help. He can take regular bath, bed rest, nutritious food, antibiotics if eruptions are wet. Normally 7 days course of accuvir 200 - 400 mg x 3 times for an adult will help. I still feel your friend should see a doctor for correct diagnosis and treatment.
