Dakhar Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Acicolovier (sp) (Valtrex) used to decrease the effects of herpes, and chichen pox is a form of herpes... so you may want to look into that. My wife had to use it when she got shingles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
