pinetar by Hamilton pharmacy. Much more pleasant than calamine. Relieves the itch but also calms the skin irritation. It is a white cream and once rubbed in will disappear. Though it has a strong small, it works wonders.

homeopathic remedy Rhus Tox is amazing. I gave it to my girls when they had cp and the itching went away immediately.

Warm, not hot bath water run through a sock filled with ground oatmeal. It will make a milky bath that soothes the skin. Add some epsom salts which help to dry up the pox.

Put some cute gloves on your LO or cut nails very short. Scratching may scar.

Play games like connect the dots with washable ink. Lots of videos. Tell your friends in case they want to infect their children naturally. But stay away from pregnant women in case they haven't had it yet.

thanks a lot everyone...

thanks ruth...luckily found the last bottle of rhus tox at home and has started giving her. Not sure where i can purchase that in hk. will try milky bath and epsom salt..

any kind of diet restrictions? shes kind of lost her appetite and has lost weight but i guess thats normal...i am not able to give her 3 solids as shes sleeping a lot more and i dont want her to reduce her milk intake..

Just let her have whatever she is comfortable having. If she isn't happy drinking, freeze the drinks and make them into popsicles. My daughters thought that was FUN!

Hope she is feeling better now
