Hello, please help!!!!
Our DS (5) is suffering from chicken pox. Today is the 4th day and our little angel is doing really well in not scratching / picking. However, yesterday while changing his clothes, I accidentally picked two big blisters (I am in shambles since then!). I put calamine lotion on them but it seems the lotion has dried and crusted there. Is it alright for calamine to crust in the big hole that I created on my little one's forehead? Should I leave it like this or start putting vitamin E on the wounds? There is no blood on the wounds and it seems that because of calamine, they have stopped gaping. But would a hard calamine crust stop the skin from growing back?
Please share your experiences ASAP!!!!
