Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
chicken pox vesicle are heal with crust formation and then these crust shed off and leave a scar, this is the normal course of disease .
if you scratch the vesicle or crust it will bleed ,so dont scratch the lesion as bleeding increases chances of secondary bacterial infection .
if you develop open lesion after scratching need to take care of that by doing dressing and care with antiseptic lotion and ointment to prevent secondary infection.
systemic antibiotic like Ampicilline 500mg three times a day orally can be taken prophylactically.
Hope you would be satisfied with my answer . Feel free to communicate if any query .
