Chicken Pox! Poxclin, Virasoothe or aqueous calamine?

Narrowed it down to: Poxclin, Virasoothe or aqueous calamine. DD2 is 7 months old so no piriton or eurax. She just started coming out in spots this morning so not itchy yet, but spots are erupting everywhere rather fast!

Wait and see how uncomfortable she is first. My DS2 had the pox first and was very jolly throughout - not at all bothered by spots or itching. Ten days later DS1 came down with it and was really unwell, very spotty and v uncomfortable. I got some Poxclin for him but really just to use on his genital area and bottom which were especially sore and sensitive. It was pricey but worth it for that purpose alone. Didn't need it and therefore glad I didn't buy it for DS2. Hope you have an easy ride and that she's better soon! Smile MPD

Poxclin
Check with your GP as they may say ok to piriton
I found the calamine did nothing
