9 month old and chicken pox

My 5 and 6 year old daughters have had chicken pox from school. They been off school with it. I didn't take them to the doctors because I knew what it was and how to deal with it. But Now I've just found one spot on my baby boys chest so I think this is the start of chicken pox as this is how my girls started. I'm just so worried about him having it as a baby. Because my 6 year old had a bad headache and temp with hers and worried how my 9 month old will cope with it. He's breastfed so I thought he wouldn't get it ( I read somewhere babies get immunity from mother if they are breastfed don't know how true it is)
What can I do to make it better for him once the chicken pox is full blown? Shall I take him to the doctors with him being a baby? Can you use camomile lotion from the shop on a baby. Just want to be prepared.

I really hope your little one is ok. My boys chicken pox have scabbed over now but he was covered In them!!! He couldn't sleep due to the itchy feeling keeping him up. How's your little boy now?
