My DD8 has chicken pox and all but 3 are now scabbed over. We're meant to be flying out to see DPIL on Sunday which I had admitted defeat about at first and had warned them we would likely need to cancel but now I'm hopeful we may be able to go. The issue is she is incredibly self conscious about the scabs, to the point she won't look in the mirror, won't leave the house (I had planned on going for a drive just to get out for an hour) and is incredibly upset at the idea of anyone looking at her. Does anyone have any fast remedies for healing the scabs quickly? We are already using Poxclin and Calamine lotion but I thought some wise Mum's may have experience of something different that has worked for them that they could recommend?
Just to clarify before anyone says it, if the 3 remaining haven't scabbed over by Saturday morning, we absolutely will not be going and will cancel our Sunday evening flights. I would never risk the health of anybody for the sake of flights that can be moved.
