Chicken pix: There is antiviral medicine against chicken pox. You should be taking valcyclovir at about 1 gram every 8 hours the sooner you start the more effective it will be at suppressing scarring. Otherwise don't pick at any scabs and keep them covered with an occlusive antibiotic ointment to facilitate healing and prevent infection.
