Chicken pox scabs

My 3.5 yr old DD had chicken pox just over two and half weeks ago. She had a lot of spots and it took about a week for all of them to scab over. She still has a lot of scabs, especially in her scalp and also on her belly. Luckily she is not picking them but I was just wondering is it quite normal for them to take quite a while to come off?

Chicken pox occurs in children ranging from 3-4 years old and its normal, so not to worry. You can apply home remedy treatment by using Vitamin E oil.
