If it is varicella, : the medical name for chickenpox, he can go back to school when all the lesions are scabbed over & dry, usually in 5-7 days. Call his his doctor if you need confirmation that it is varicella & tips on treatment. See: www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chickenpox/basics/symptoms/con-20019025.
