My chicken pox rash is burning itchy- what can i use to soothe ?

Clean & moisturize: The main cause of the itchiness appears to be the salt in your own sweat. Keeping areas clean (clear lukewarm baths/shower) & using a moisturizer of your choosing/tolerance helps. I avoid the traditional calamine lotion as I find it too drying. A cool compress placed on any target site of too much itching can reduce the issue.

My 16 month old has had a fever , runny nose, runny tummy and now a rash. The rash looks like mosquito bites - no blisters, doesnt seem itchy. Some are flat and diffuse others more defined. Could it be chicken pox? What else could it be?
