10 Chicken Pox Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Scabs and Crusting
Scabs will often form after an injury that has caused the skin to become broken. They are made of clotted blood, among other things, and help to protect the damaged area below while it is repaired by the body. Once the repairs are complete, the scab will simply fall away.
The spots and blisters that come with chicken pox will also need healing. A crust is likely to form over blisters, particularly those that have burst, and scabs are also likely to form. They can be itchy, but they should be left where they are until they fall off on their own accord.
