Hello,

My DD has just at the end of having Chicken Pox and there are a few that look like they are going to scar on her face and tummy.

Does any one have any advise................

I have been covering her in Aqueous cream around 3 times a day after each bath. This has been helping with the itching and i hope it will help with the scaring

Any advise welcome

Or pure vitamin E - buy the capsules and prick with a pin, squeeze out a rub on spots - when healed.

Vitamin E cream is good too. Worked on both my dds.

My DS had the pox when he was 2.5yrs and it left some pretty bad scars at the time. however nine months on they have all disappeared - young skin is still strething and growing, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Can anyone help........

Today in the bath i was washing DD and noticed that she has a light rash all over. Its not red, its the same colour as her skin, Like goose pimples all over.

Is this normal with chicken pox?
Should i stop covering her in Aqueous Cream?

Any advise welcome
