Chicken Pox: You are not contagious anymore after the last lesion has crusted over and scabbed. Usually around 10 days- 14 days.

Crusted lesions: For healthy individuals once the lesions are crusted it is usually safe for individuals to return to their daily activities. Mild cases with few lesions this can be several days and severe cases with hundreds of lesions can take several weeks.
