I'm assuming this is due to the infected person's own reaction to the infection rather than any particular variation in the virus?
I have two kids who got infected within a week of each other (probably older kid got it at nursery and passed on to younger child), so very likely the same strain of the virus.
One got very few spots (less than 10), but almost all scarred. The other was covered in hundreds of spots, but with no scarring.
