Some children get small sores in their mouth, on their eyelids, or around the groin. Soon the red spots turn into clear blisters that itch a lot. When your child scratches, the blisters break and make hard crusts. The crusts fall off in about 2 weeks. Your child will keep getting new sores for 2-6 days.
Some children get chicken pox all over.
Children can give chicken pox to someone else before the rash develops and up until all of the blisters are crusted over. Treatment Most children get over chicken pox without any problems. Sometimes chicken pox can lead to encephalitis, a brain infection. Other problems are meningitis and pneumonia. But usually the biggest problem is infected blisters.
