I am a complete picker, and to pick chicken pox is possibly the most stupid thing I've ever done :) I discovered that they are not like normal scabs -- each of mine had a very deep and strong white root in the centre, and only five years later are the scars on my face small enough to be basically unnoticable. On my body, they're still quite large. Also, that's how I got a secondary infection which dragged out my illness an extra week. Just a warning, for quicker healing.
Regarding picking...
