Hello,
Chicken pox produces an itchy, blistery rash that typically lasts about a week and is sometimes accompanied by a fever or other symptoms. Because chickenpox is a viral disease, antibiotics are ineffective. Antibiotics may be prescribed if the blisters become infected. Calamine lotion helps to reduce itchiness. You can apply that on you blisters. If there is fever then please take acetaminophen(Tylenol). Also consult a dermatologist as the severity of the disease can be judged.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
