Hi, i'm 19 and i just came down with chicken pox around two days ago. I'm heading to Germany on the 25, just want to know if my skin will heal in time and would there be chicken pox marks while im travelling, or would my skin be returned to normal?

bless you having to wait this long to have them and just before a big trip!! But you should be clear in 2 weeks of them, oh you may have a few of the larger places but shouldn't by that time. Just be sure not to scratch them and get them infected so they will dry on up and heal for you.
Good luck
PS Aveeno baths are good for the itching too.

You may have some faint marks, or even some scabs still, but you should be pretty well healed by then if you don't scratch and get infected! As long as all the blisters have crusted and dried, you won't be contagious. ( Didn't you get vaccinated against chicken pox?)

Your skin should be just about normal by then but do not scratch if it is at all possible. If you scratch it takes longer to heal.

Your should be fine by then. You may be healing at that time and be able to tell that you had them but should not be contagious.
