Adult chickenpox may also be contagious after scabbing. Adult chickenpox is basically out of the infectious period after all the scabs have formed and dried, but it is also contagious if only the scabs have formed and have not yet dried. In addition, the varicella herpes virus may continue to incubate in the body, and the virus can be easily reactivated, so contact with an infected person in this case may also make them contagious again. The chickenpox virus is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract or by direct contact. When the disease is cured, most patients are permanently immunized. If the virus stays in the body, it cannot be ruled out that it may cause shingles afterward, which is also contagious, so it cannot be ruled out that it can be transmitted during contact. If you want to know whether the condition is still contagious after recovery, and whether there is any latent virus, you need to consult a doctor in time, be evaluated by a doctor’s interview, and analyzed through relevant examinations, and try not to go to public places before the condition is cured.
