what is the best product to treat chicken pox?

my sisterinlaw uses camomile lotion, but in the market they seem to have other products, theres another camomile cream which is oily...which one did you use and what did you think of it?

my main concern is that my ds doesnt scar from them

would like a response before tomorrow noon as i intend to go out and buy some..thanks

bicarb of soda worked wonders for my two. Disolve a load in the bath and dab it onto wet skin the the bath. It seems to be soothing and helps dry up the scabs more quickly. Personally I think it worked a treat as it stopped mine scratching, limiting scarring. Also, totally safe to use in big quantities, cheap, non staining and non smelly
