What Causes Itchy Black Spots On Skin Turned Into Scab In Children?

Hi my kids are 4, 2 and 1. My 2 year old son has had chicken pox (or so i think) for a few days now. Like 5 and all of them have now turned black. Like almost scab like. What does that mean? Also i seem to have some similar black itchy dots on my arm and back.

hello
i read your question an understand your concern
i would like to ask that
* all member at your home having the same complaints?
* itching mainly at night time?
* any itching or spots/rashes in your finger webs?
i would suggest to see your doctor as it looks like that you all are having scabies
which should be treated at once and at same time
you can use lotion calamine and apply below neck to your whole body for at least 3 days

wash your bed sheets, towel clothes with properly and you all need to be treated at the same time
