A member asked:
Up until when will the chickenpox be contagious? i have had it for almost 2 weeks now but there is still one small brown-colored fluid at my wrist

When all the lesions: Have dried up, you'll no longer be contagious. Avoid contact with young infants till you're sure.

Chickenpox: When infected you will usually be contagious for 1 to 2 days prior to the rash showing up & remain so until the blistering lesions have crusted over. Most blisters crust over in about a week.
