A member asked:

Pls tell me a lotion or cream which can be used during chickenpox (to apply in the body) for a 3 years old child?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Caladryl: Use the Orange/Brown lotion that dries on the skin, the Benadryl (diphenhydramine) in the lotion is the key ingredient to reduce the itchiness

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
