Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having chicken pox which is highly infectious and communicable. The symptoms are suggesting me that the rashes are in healing phase.
The chickenpox rashes will heal without leaving any scar unless it is infected. The rashes turning blavk with small amount of fluid is the normal process of healing.
The symptoms will come down in 15 days after the appearance of the rash. You can apply calamine lotion which will fasten the healing.
Thank you.
