Greyish looking pus filled blisters while having chickenpox

On my 6th day of having chickenpox. My blisters have a red outline and have greyish pus and is not leaking and i haven't burst them. Is there infection or will they scab off themselves ?

It takes about 5-10 days to recover. The blisters will scab over then you may get new blisters and new scabs. Try not to pick or scratch them because it spread it and can cause scarring. The scabs should go away on their own.
