Yes, chickenpox is very itchy.
no
chickenpox can spread over 2-3 weeks and depending on the person and age need not be itchy.
An itchy, crusty infection immediately following chickenpox is likely to be impetigo due to secondary infection of chickenpox sores. See your health care provider as soon as possible for effective diagnosis and treatment.
There is no benefit to bringing out more chickenpox spots, and increased temperature may make you more itchy.

Smallpox, Chickenpox, Monkeypox, Cowpox
Chickenpox causes widespread bumps, not clustered. Shingles or poison ivy are just a couple of problems that can cause a cluster of itchy bumps. See your health care provider for definite diagnosis and treatment.
Chickenpox and singles are both caused by varicella zoster virus. They both cause skin lesions that are itchy and blistering, and then dry to scabs.
Virus, as it cannot be treated with antibiotics or pencillin
It is the same virus. The shingles version of the disease is supposed to be painful, while chicken pox is just itchy.
It could be scabies. Who ever said it was scabies, it isn't, it is an allergic reaction to sunblock.(says a doctor)
Shingles is a viral disease related to chickenpox. It results from reactivation of the lifelong infection with the chickenpox virus. Chickenpox can cause myocarditis as a complication. There can be secondary bacterial infection of the skin. Rarely there can be viral encephalitis.
