Answer by Patricia B
As long as any other type of scab you've ever had. I have scars on me from when I had them and that was back when I was in diapers and I'm in my 30s now!

Scabs - a couple of weeks

Scars - some you'll have forever. I had chicken pox when I was a kid. I'm 39, and I still have a few scars from it.

Perhaps the less you scratch, the less likely you'll scar...or try some vitamin E ointment.

Good luck.

About a month they should all be gone. Whatever you do don't pick at them cause they can leave scars. They get better everyday though, when I say month, I mean all should be gone by then. Oh and I noticed a lot of people said they have scars. I never got any scars, so don't freak out (smiles)

Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
