Yellow pus blister during chicken pox
I got chicken pox on Saturday, took acyclovir 400mg and now pain is gone but blisters filled with fluid are still there. But in face in one place near nose, a big blister is filled with yellow pus and is somewhat hardened. Is there any need to visit doctor due to this Yellow pus blister? Please advise. Thank you.
