I am suffering from chicken pox since last 2 weeks. Almost all the scabs have dried and fallen off. Just 8 to 10 are left which will also fall off by tomorrow morning. I want to know till how long am I infectious after tomorrow? I have avoided any physical contact with anyone till now but for how long should I do that. I have a 5 year old and don't want to pass on the infection to her. There are a couple of scabs which fell off prematurely due to scratching and they are healing again now. Is that a problem?
