My adult son was not well from 7th March & detected with chicken pox on 9th March, as the boils started appearing on his chest & back. He has been isolated since then.Now most of the boils have crusted & the scabs have fallen off. Some have not yet fallen off . Can he come out of isolation ?

Infection can be considered as stopped once no new lesions appear and there is no fever. It might take some more time to all lesions to fall off completely. The answer to your question is Yes. He can now come out of isolation.
