Chicken pox - advice please

[dizzymac]

DD (19mths) has chicken pox. She's fine in herself but her bottom is covered in spots. As she's still in nappies how can I make her more comfortable and avoid any infection please.

if she does a poo i would bath her to make sure she is clean as possible

calamine lotion is very very good, use liberally

vaseline can be a good barrier between the pox and wee/poo

Vaseline !!! I had't thought of that. She's been calamined and bathed in sodium bicarb and had piriton and Nurofen. (Phew). Hopefully she'll be like her big sister and have it quite lightly.
Thanks

oh god YES forgot about piriton

what a life saver that is with the pox
