I'm dealing with chicken pox but so far, I haven't got a fever. I'm really hoping to recover before March 8th. Could you suggest some ways to speed up the healing process for me?

I'm a 37-year-old male and I've noticed itchy red bumps on my thighs, arms, stomach, and legs. They seem to start under the skin and when the bigger ones burst, they release a strange fluid and blood with a bad odor, and it becomes painful. They seem to appear over hair follicles. I did some research and thought it might be something like HS but it doesn't fully match. I don't smoke and I'm not overweight. Since they started a month ago, I've changed my diet by cutting out dairy and reducing sugar and grains while adding supplements, probiotics, and vitamins. I've noticed fewer large bumps now, but there are still a lot of small ones. What do you think this could be?
In your case, since the bumps are emitting a strange fluid and blood with a putrid odor, it may be a more severe form of folliculitis. To help treat your symptoms, I recommend using an antibacterial wash like Hibiclens to cleanse the affected areas. Additionally, you can apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the bumps. In some cases, oral antibiotics may be necessary, so I suggest consulting with a healthcare provider to determine if that is needed. In terms of supplements, continue taking your probiotics and vitamins as they can support your overall health and immune system. However, it's important to address the underlying skin issue with the appropriate treatment. Remember to maintain good hygiene practices, avoid shaving the affected areas, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice for further evaluation and management.
