One horror story could be a child who had a very severe case of chicken pox. The blisters covered their entire body, including their face, and they were in constant pain. They couldn't sleep well because of the itching and discomfort, and the parents were extremely worried as the child also had a high fever for days that wouldn't go down easily.
There was a story where a young girl got chicken pox during a family vacation. Since they were away from home, it was difficult to get proper medical care right away. The girl's condition worsened quickly. She was so itchy that she couldn't enjoy any of the vacation activities. Her parents were constantly worried about her spreading it to other people, and they had to cut the vacation short. It was really a nightmare for the whole family.
Well, I heard about a person who got chicken pox as an adult. It was horrible. Adults usually have a tougher time with it compared to children. This person had chicken pox all over their scalp, and the blisters were so painful that they couldn't even comb their hair. Also, they developed a secondary infection because they scratched some of the blisters accidentally, which led to a long and difficult recovery process.
Most of these 'horror stories' are not true. The chicken pox vaccine is very safe and effective. Just like any vaccine, there might be some mild side effects like soreness at the injection site or a low - grade fever for a short time, but serious problems are extremely rare.
Definitely. A girl got chicken pox and some of the blisters on her arms were really big and itchy. She scratched them a lot during her sleep. When the chicken pox finally cleared up, she had several ugly scars on her arms.

The real facts are that these horror stories are mostly unfounded. The chicken pox vaccine has been used for a long time with a high success rate in preventing chicken pox. The side effects that are sometimes misconstrued as 'horror' are typically very mild, like a bit of redness at the injection area.
In 'chicken pox fanfic', there could be elements of how the character's relationships are affected. Maybe friends or family members come to take care of the sick character. It could also show the character's internal struggle, like the boredom of being sick and the longing to get better soon. Moreover, the setting of the story might often be at home or in a hospital, depending on the severity of the chicken pox in the story.
