How to Prevent Yourself from Getting Chicken Pox...
Vaccine
There are many simple ways to keep yourself from getting chicken pox. The most basic way is to keep yourself clean! Washing your hands, not sharing food or drink, and staying away from anyone who is infected are all great ways to help prevent yourself from getting chicken pox.
The most effective way of preventing chicken pox is to get the vaccine. It is administered like other vaccines (by needle). The vaccine is mostly recommended for teachers, students, and any other individuals who could be near infected people. The only cons to the chicken pox vaccine are that some people may not be able to afford them, or they can have allergic reactions. In these cases, they don't have a choice but to stay clean and healthy.

Treatment/Cure
Calamine Lotion
Treating chicken pox can be tricky at times because the focus is on getting the blisters to stop itching, rather than actually treating the root of the discomfort (the virus). One of the most common ways to treat chicken pox is to put calamine lotion all over the body, especially on the blisters. Another unique way to treat chicken pox is to take a bath with vinegar in it. These will relieve the skin from itching.
To treat the root of this disease you can try taking antivirals. The most common antiviral used to treat chicken pox is Acyclovir, but other antivirals can be used. If your doctor recommends an antibiotic, question him because antibiotics only work on diseases caused by bacteria, whereas chicken pox is caused by a virus.
There is no known cure for chicken pox yet, and I think researchers have found out that there is no cure for it, except to wait it out. Most people don't even think a cure for chicken pox is necessary because not many people die from it, and after you get it once, you won't ever get it again.
