Hello and welcome to the forum. Were the blisters on the shell or on the snail itself? Paprika is from the pepper family and possibly could be an irritant to the snail, the same way hot peppers could be. As far as I know, chickenpox affects only humans, so I doubt your snail has it. I'm glad your snail is eating well, and I hope it gets better.

paprika is what is known in england as sweet pepper. Paprika is also used to refer to dried ground red sweet pepper used as a spice.
I found if something is bad for a snail the snail will not eat it. My snails will not touch avacado, I found out that it's toxic to birds, and maybe snails too which is why they won't eat it.
I think you're saying the blisters are on the body of the snail, is it possible that you have used a new substrate, perhaps there are chemicals such as fertilizers in it which have caused the blisters. if so change the substrate back to your old one and give your snail a bath.
If he is eating and is active I wouldn't worry too much about it.
