chickenpox-when can I let my dd go out?

[schroeder]

My dd came out with chickenpox rash last Saturday and hasn't left the house since, she's so bored and not at all poorly.
Her spots are all dry some just faint and pink a few with a crusty top-how much longer do you think I must keep her at home?

I think if they have all dried over your fine to go out

Oh I would let her out by now!!!

They are most contageous for the few days before any spots appear, if she is not actually too poorly to go out I would be inclined to take her out.

They all need to be crusty before you take her into shops, etc. Out and about in the garden is fine though.
