Chickenpox
Hey...I've a quick question. My girlfriend got chickenpox 23days ago. She's okay now even there are some spots left on face. Is the disease still contagious ?? I wanted to make sure because I never had chickenpox. Thanks in advance.

Chicken pox is infective until the last crust falls. The spots you are referring might be scars or hyperigmentation which are non infective.use vit c tab daily which might improve healingand decreases spot colour.
