On average, it takes 8-12 days for chickenpox to clear, but it can sometimes be longer or shorter than that. Shorter recovery usually happens in people previously vaccinated.

Chickenpox isn't "curable," strictly speaking. Medications can decrease symptoms in those at high risk for complications. The virus stays in your body forever.
