chicken pox & eczema

Hello,

Currently Day 4 of chicken pox and ds (3.5) has it bad. He's covered. He was ok in himself Monday & Tuesday, not great yesterday and really bad today ( not really moved off sofa but is drinking a bit, weeing and played a bit this evening)

He occasionally has eczema flare ups behind his knees & armpits. This is managed with a bit of steroid cream (low dose) and moisturiser but not needed all the time

Today the backs of his knees are red raw! He says it's sore rather than itchy (like the rest of his cp rash)

Is there anything I can put on? Would steroid cream be ok while he has the cp virus? Any ideas?

Thanks

I would put a Aveeno on it
