Chicken pox: Calamine lotion tends to soothes the skin and helps with itch . Antihistamines can also be tried . Older antihistamines like phenergan tend to work better but they cause lot of drowsiness .

Chickenpox: There is no one thing that works but there are a few tricks. Warm showers may help. Oatmeal baths have some soothing properties. Calamine lotion can work but you wind up painting yourself pink! Systemic antihistamines can help but I would recommend the broad-spectrum, sedating ones as these tend to be more effective. If all else fails distraction techniques may work if you feel up to it.
