Hi & Welcome to HCM.

I can understand your problem.
There is no harm in taking seafood after having chickenpox.

Avoid taking large meal of seafood or chicken especially if the food is from outside and not home cooked as it may lead to digestion problems and also since you had been on dietary restriction for a while.
Also take care to avoid too much spicy foods.

Hope to have answered your query.
