Baby just scratched a chicken pox clean off, what should we do?!

[quillfram]

Hi! One year old DS has chicken pox, a vast amount on his forehead particularly. He’s not scratching, but he’s caught himself somehow I think and sliced the top off of one of the chicken pox on his forehead. What do we do?
Google just comes up with how to generally treat CP, or how to address old scarring.
Do we clean it? Put a plaster on it? Cream? How do we stop it getting infected? Will it definitely scar now? Is there anything we can do to prevent that? Thanks!

Make sure it’s clean and leave it alone, that’s it. It might scar,( but probably won’t) but what looks like a massive scar in a very small child is actually a very very small faded scar in an older child/ teen/adult. Probably invisible. Don’t fret.

Keep it clean and leave it alone. It has a good chance of scarring but it’s not a big deal

Nothing. You do absolutely nothing

It will probably scar but it won't make the CP worse and should not cause a significant infection.

Nothing. What could there possibly be to do?

What other have said really not much you can do. I used dermol 500 in the bath as it’s anti microbial and moisturising, poxclin mousse and virasoothe gel but I did revert to the calamine lotion in the end with my littlest one and that gave the most relief from itching. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to which pox scar and which don’t. Dd had a massive one she knocked off and I thought would scar but it didn’t. She was covered but only one scarred and I don’t even think it was particularly big or that she scratched it. Interestingly all three of mine had chicken pox within weeks of eachother to different degrees, from just a smattering to absolutely covered but they all only have one scar each.

It's a scab. It'll scab over again
