is chicken pox worse for children with eczema?

[allieBongo]

dd seems to have loads more spots in the target eczema areas.. and being badly asthmatic will she get the chest infection we were warned about?

morning lovely ladies. thank you so much for all your concern and advice. We saw the emergency Dr at midninght (crap i know) she is ok. she advised to keep doing what i am doing. after a sleepless night, she is now asleep on the floor in the lounge (it is the only cool room in the house) and she has scratched for an hour. Hopefully, keeping her dosed up on piriton will allow her to sleep and get over it.

hasn't scratched for an hour. i am sooooo sleep deprived

How is she today allie?

How's she doing now allie? this is interesting - I didn't know there was a link but DS who has eczema had CP terribly in April - and it definitely targetted his bad eczema areas thinking back.

she is finally on the mend. actually managed nearly a whole night's sleep last night, and is well and truly scabbing over bless her
