chickenpox itching

how can I stop dd2, 2.3 from scratching her spots. Have tried calomine lotion which doesn't seem to be helping.
Is there anything I can put in her bath tonight to relieve the itching?

Piriton syrup (helps sleep too) and either tsp or two of bicarb of soda or run the water through some oats in a stocking tied over the tap ! The water should be warm not hot.
