Chickenpox is not my area of expertise. I do, however, happen to know a thing or two about viruses.

Currently, modern medicine isn't able to cure viruses, only prevent them. In some cases, we are able to develop a "vaccine" against a virus. Vaccines are administered before a person is exposed to infection and often times will help them develop an immunity to disease. There is currently no cure for Chickenpox, however there has been a vaccine developed.
