It should be fine: It's okay for your child to have a bath or shower despite having chicken pox. Bathing in lukewarm water (baby oil) may help ease the itching. If it works for your child, you could let her have several baths or showers a day until the spots become less itchy. Make sure you thoroughly dry the skin so the spots don't become too soggy. Pat gently, don't rub. Let the scabs remain to prevent infection.
