Am I still contagious?
So i had chicken pox started on last Friday evening(5th April). From 6th April onwards i was on valacyclovir 3g a day for 7 days till 12th April.
Today is 16th, I just have drying out scabs on my body. Am O still contagious or do I need to stay on isolation till all the scabs have fallen up? Please guide me, I don't want to spread this to others.
Thanks.
