Can anyone help - my youngest who is 2 and a half has chickenpox all over but has loads and loads of spots around and in her bottom and vagina which are driving her mad. We've tried
Calpol - brings temp down but nothing else
Piriton - nothing
Bicarb and oats in bath - help while she's in there but not once she's out
Aqueous calamine cream - not sure whether it helps or not but she hates having it put on and says it hurts
I'm desperate for any suggestions that might relieve the pain/itching for her she keeps crying and telling me it hurts and I just can't do anything, it's so upsetting. She only slept a couple of hours last night as it was so sore, the rest of the night we carried her around or she was in the bath!
Any suggestions would be really welcome
very much inneedofcake!
