Its is a highly contagious infection caused by the varicella zoster virus. Although uncomfortable, most people recover within 1-2 weeks. Chickenpox is infectious from 2 days before the spots appear to until they have crusted over, usually 5 days after they first appeared. It happens for once in life time
