When you have chickenpox red spots appear all over your skin, which can hurt or itch. If you scratch these they become little scabs that can leave you scarred.
The sickness usually goes away after a week or so, but chicken pox is highly contagious and so people have to stay home when they have it.
Chickenpox is most common in children under age 12, and if you have it when you are an adult it can be more harmful for your body.
