Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
Chicken pox lesions can itch during the healing phase. But nothing prevents you from having another skin disease like fungal infection even though you are suffering from chicken pox. So as dermatology is predominantly a visual field of medicine I won't be able to comment whether the itching is due to chicken pox or something else. I will recommend you to show a dermatologist to be sure.
Hope this helped
Take care
