Most chickenpox lesions develop scabs. An exception can occur in patients previously vaccinated for chickenpox who get mild "breakthrough" chickenpox. These patient' chickenpox sores and blisters may never scab over but may simply disappear.
The blister forms then turns later turns into a scab and eventually heals. Even the tiny little blisters form a small scab that is sometimes barely noticable.
Whatever you do do not pick at the blisters it can get infected, remember they are not pimples and you won't accelerate the healig process by doing this. If you have an excess of yellow pus it may already be infected and you need to see a Doctor Who can prescribe antibiotics for this secondary infection. Generally the scab leaves a scar that may take about 12 months to go away. Use vitamin E on them and you can reduce the effect of the scars sooner.

Do you have a fever before showing signs of blisters for smallpox?

Do you have blisters with smallpox?
This is very good question! Now there is no small pox. Before eradication of the small pox, there used to be confusion between the small pox and chicken pox. The blisters of smallpox typically used to be uniformly erupted at a time. The eruptions of chicken pox comes up in crops. The eruptions of small pox used to come from the basal layer of the skin. So there used to be scars all over the body of the patient, who used to survive the attack of the disease. The chicken pox does not leave the scar in normal course, unless there is secondary bacterial infection. The disease used to be more in severity as compared to chicken pox.

Can you catch shingles from kissing?
Yes and no. Shingles is herpes zoster virus. The symptoms develop in people who have had chicken pox before. If you haven't had chicken pox you may develop it when exposed to shingles. If you have had chicken pox it can trigger shingles. It is infectious only when the blisters are forming and 'weeping'. Therefore it is spread through physical contact. It is no longer infectious when the blisters are dry scabs. It is not airborne but a mask and gloves are worn by healthcare workers to protect them from contacting the skin of active patients.

What are chickenpox scabs?
The typical symptoms of chickenpox start with the development of a rash of flat, red colored and splotchy dots, all over the body. These dots usually form first on the chest and then move to the stomach, and the back. A day or so later these dots spread out to the face and the scalp. These dots combine to form a reddened rash that clusters into clusters of tiny pimple like protrusions on the skin, these pimple-like spots then proceed and ripen into small, very delicate and clear blisters on the skin. The number of these blisters or lesions on the skin is variable ; some may haveup to three hundred lesions while others may have only three of them over the whole body. As soon as the rash on the skin erupts and fluids flow away, a new spurt or growth of blisters can be expected in the following two to five days. Following the formation of the blisters on the skin, the formation of scabs occurs five to six days later; this phase is the last stage during an infection of chicken pox. The scabs persist for about two weeks before falling away to revel fresh and tender skin; the attack of chicken pox can be considered to have ended when this period is reached.
