Calamine lotion helps to ease the itching, however, it is rather messy to use. Straightly one for behind closed doors IMHO.

When I was at boarding school in '75 we had an outbreak of Chickenpox & German Measles. When diagnosed & sent to the sanatorium we used to sit in a big circle scratching each other's backs

It's not cruel to want her to get chicken pox as a young child.

I managed to have chicken pox twice. Both times as an adult.

Doesn't itch yet... Notices it quite quickly... I worry and fuss over little things... But the spots are beginning to appear rather quickly since I first noticed them...

Ouchy.

I got it when I was 21 or 22 and it was the most ill I've been in my life. I was hospitalised for a week and was so disfigured by the blisters that I thought I'd never recover. I was even smothered in them 'you know where'

I sincerely hope that you hae only a mild dose and that you are fighting fit soon.

I had mine when I was about 15, while on school holiday and did not need to take any time off school.

Had shingles when I was 40, and took a week off for that one, the longest I had ever taken off in my entire life. Fingers cross for good health.

It was nearly a week since the first blister appeared before I realised I was having shingles, and carried on working as normal. I shared an office with a pregnant colleague at the time, and I contacted her right away to inform her the news. Luckily she was fine and had chicken pox already.

I am sure you can manage adequately on your own. Just need a cotton wool ball, that's all.

Yes it is advisable to stay away when having chicken pox and shingles, until the blisters are dried and crusted over.

Suck ice lollies if your mouth gets sore, drink lots to keep hydrated, paracetamol or ibuprofen help, and sometimes anti-histamines taken at night reduce the itching.

Get well soon. x

I caught it a few years ago - not fun!

If you get the itches a cream called Eurax is fantastic - stops it for hours at a time.

Hope you feel better quickly.

I've had shingles twice over the last couple of years and the doc said I was fine to go to work as the spots weren't on an exposed area. Took some Tramadol for the pain and was spaced out at work, it was great

If you do go to work confirm that everyone you work with has already had it first.

And baking soda in a warm bath can help with the itching - and many corner shops will stock it.

Am surprised your doc didn't advise you when and how long to stay away from people. I'm pretty sure some people can suffer badly if they catch it...

There is a slight possibility of problems to both mother and child if a pregnant woman catches chicken pox.

Check out NHS website for more info.

I feel for you

I had it as an adult,never felt so bad and that fact that you look shit too made it worse

Calomine lotion did'nt do a thing for me,but I hope it gives you some relief

I could'nt even towel myself dry after a shower as it hurt so much,had to blow dry myself with a hairdryer!

poor thing.

Forget the Calamine there's a new jel out especially for chicken pox.

You can get it from super markets as well as chemists.

Can't remember what it's called but it's fantastic.It stops the itching and scaring.

Both little ones had chicken pox last year.

The youngest had it so severe that we had to get the Dr out at 4am.

He was given pain killers and antihistamine.
