A member asked:

Is it okay to be taking a bath with chickenpox?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A soothing bath: It is actually advisable to take a warm oatmeal bath when a person has chickenpox. The warm bath helps to manage the itchiness of the chicken pox rash. If you use an aveeno bath that can also soothe the itchiness from the chickenpox rash.
