Chickenpox symptoms start between ten and 21 days after exposure, but usually around two weeks.

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.
What is the difference between chickenpox with vaccine and chickenpox without vaccine?
Both shingles and chicken pox are caused by the same virus called Varizella Zoster Virus or VZV. The only difference is from how the illness was triggered; Chickenpox occur during childhood, while shingles comes later. VZV remains dormant inside the body after chickenpox. The virus is awakened if the body experiences weakness in its immune system or is triggered by stress.Also, to add to this answer, shingles is usually on one side, not both sides at the same time. It follows the nerve it has affected. It will either be on the right or left of your body, not both sides.Shingles is transmitted only by direct contact with the moist lesions. In contrast, chickenpox is transmitted both by contact with lesions and by respiratory droplets.
