If you scratch and pick at the blisters caused by chicken pox they could crack, bleed, scar or even, in some cases, become infected and lead to further problems down the road. If you use calamine lotion on the blisters, it'll take away most of the itching so you (or whomever has it) won't have to suffer so much.
