Chicken pox and eczema

[CharlotteBronteSaurus]

dd2 (16mo) has chicken pox. she is managing really well. she also has eczema and we slather her in emollient 2x daily. is this something we need to avoid during chicken pox (risk of creating infection???) or is it ok to carry on as normal?

For DS who had excema and chicken pox we used a calamine and aqueous cream mix many times a day. I think by the end his skin showed an overall improvement. We didn't have any problem with infection.

For some reason, made worse because I have two children with the condition, I am unable to retain the correct spelling of eczema in my brain. Apologies

thanks 5
