chicken pox- calamine lotion

How can I convince 3yr old ds to put calamine lotion on pox? He has quite a few red and angry looking ones on his cheeks and round his ears and I am so worried they will scar.
He says I will hurt him and runs away, when I say I want to do 'dab dab'.
Tried cotton wool and paint brush. Won't have either.
Any tricks that have worked would be very welcome.

we found calamine ointment much better, didn't sting and ds could put his "special anti-itch cream" on himself (he's a very independent 2)
