A member asked:
I had chickenpox . i want to know that how much time will it take for last blister to come out ? please help :(

6-7 days: The chickenpox is considered contagious from 24-48 hours before the onset of the rash until the last new blister is dried out.Generally this is 6-7 days after eruption.

1-2 weeks: Every patient is different but in my experience, most patients will have complete crusting of all lesions within two weeks. Your overall immune status will certainly affect this as will if you have been given Acyclovir to speed healing.
