The course of chicken pox lasts for about 7-10 days. Most blisters crust by day 6. Crusts fall off within 1-2 weeks. Be careful if your daughter gets sicker as there may be complications due to chicken pox.

It usually lasts about a week for all lesions to become crusted and no new lesions have formed.
