Chicken Pox is very, very contagious. I assume you've gone to a doctor who has provided you with the proper medication and advised you to stay home?
Follow that adivce.
Also try to be as clean as possible. If you touch one eye, wash you hands before you touch the other eye or touch someone else. Be very careful around babies or pregnant women. DO NOT pop the bumps and pimples that develop. Poping them will leave permanent scars!!
Drink lots of chicken soup - along with your medication and take baths using Aveeno to relieve the itchiness you'll experience.

The colloidal oatmeal formula relieves the itchiness and makes your skin feel smoother.
After all the symptoms have gone away (about 10 days - with the medication), continue taking baths with Aveeno -- your skin will continue to itch if you don't. When I had the chiken box, I had to continue using the Aveeno Bath for about 6 months. And I still use it because it feels so good.
Start using a good nutritional supplement that works toward improvement of the skin; you will, of course have many excellent side benefits:

Take plenty of rest, lots of fluids, and do not scratch your chicken pox. It will be a lot worse if you did.
