Water does not make chickenpox worse. It is important to maintain good hygiene and daily cleaning of skin with warm water to avoid secondary bacterial infection. Heat and sweat can induce discomfort and exacerbate the itching caused by the chicken pox. Try keeping the infected person in a cool area, and use cool, wet compresses to help relieve itching.
