Answer by FireAxe
I don't think so.
You can take a bath.
In fact just don't scratch; or it will leave marks on your body. Trust me I know because I have three dots on my chest from the experience.
Also remember not to eat too much Non-Vegetarian food.
Have more fruits and Vegetables.

Sponge bath with lukewarm water will help to relieve itching.

I was always told that for a rash u can bathe w oatmeal (aveno). that stops the itching. I'm not sure if u can w chicken pox the Dr didn't tell u anything? u usually get a cream and antibiotic?

You can bathe -- aveeno has an oatmeal bath product that can help with itching.

Also, make sure the water isn't too hot - very drying.

It won't spread the chickenpox

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