The best way to prevent VZV is with the Varicella vaccine. While some people may still get VZV their symptoms will be milder because of the vaccine. Treatment usually involves using things at home such as calamine lotion, cool baths with baking soda or oatmeal. Sometimes a doctor may prescribe antivirals to lessen symptoms. Also it is important not to scratch because this can cause it to spread.
