He recovered from chicken pox before 6days. if i kiss him now will it be harmful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
???????????: A person is considered contagious with chickenpox from the day before the spots appear until the last one has scabbed over or one week, whichever is later. If you had chickenpox as a kid, you are immune & exposure is no risk. If not & you have been around him during the contagious period you will likely get it. Incubation is 10-21 days.
