Last remaining blister - fly in 3 days!

This spot/blister on my 4yo DD has been here the longest. Even the spots that came out after a couple of days have scabbed but this has not. It looks like a really bad teenage acne pimple!!

I have calamine cream, sudocrem, Poxclin & Eurax - is there anything I can try that will help speed up the process? Or is it just a waiting game 🥲 it’s literally the last blister on her body, rest are crusty/scabbed

We fly in 3 days so I am running out of time 😩 I’ll be so disheartened if I have to cancel over one spot!

If still crusty on the day of the flight, stick a Compeed-type cold sore patch on it. Three chickenpox virus is being shed from the lesion (pox spot) and provided you can cover it over, it won't be able to shed any virus. You are past peak infectiousness.
