top chickenpox itch tips?

[CountessDracula]

DD was scratching most of the night and is still v itchy

I have given her Piriton and smothered her in Eurax, have searched on here and found Rhus Tox and bicarb in the bath are good too so will go and get some of those later.

Does anyone have any other tips?

TIA

Make a jug of chammomile tea for the bath too.

Or an old sock filled with oats and tied up - it's all creamy and slimey but has the same nuetralising effect on the acidy pus which is what's making her skin itch. You can use it to wash her with.

ah yes I remember doing that when she was a baby and had eczema, thanks

She seems to have a couple right on the edge of her eyelids is that normal?

anyone?

Calamine lotion is amazing
