chickenpox - one blister left advice to get rid asap!!

[NaomiPaula]

Hi my daughter (3) has CP came out last friday and they have all scabbed and some dropped off bar one on her sole fo foot! It is huge and not drying up!! We are climbing the wall here esp as my older daughter home as well!!!!! so apart from this one she would not be infectious and we could get out again!!
Any tips for drying it out!?????

Thank you x

The latest advice is that they are no longer contagious 5 days after the first spots.
So she should be fine to go out. It is on her root after all.

As HoneyPablo says, latestg Health Protection Agency advice seems to be 5 days although the HPA contradict themselves here by saying "infectivity continues until all the lesions have crusted over (commonly about 5 to 6 days after onset of illness)".

thanks!! I was under the impression all spots had to be crusted over! NHS has different info to HPA! Fingers crossed will be crusty tomorrow am!! Don;t like to risk it.....

Bicarb helps to dry them out. So does tea tree oil.

It has gone!! Yippee!! Out we go!!!!!
