Antiviral medication: Chicken pox will run its natural course, but you can ask your doctor for antiviral medication to help the rash dry up faster.

Rid of them ?: You are still considered contagious until the last one has dried up or 7 days from the first spot, whichever is later. You may be able to look better and have fewer spots on Acyclovir but the process must run its course.
