Detailed Answer:
Thanks for consulting me at HCM . Your trust in HCM means a lot to me as a Physician.
I have completely reviewed your health query, and can well realize all those concerns. Being your physician, I will take care all of them today and will give extend my expertise to solve the problems.
I feel sorry for the symptoms your daughter has got. Don't worry it will be alright soon. Before skin manifestations there are flu like symptoms in most of the cases of chickenpox. The rash like lesions on her skin which you are talking about usually starts from head and trunk region and then spread to rest of the body. Her lesions doesn't look like to be typical of chickenpox. But still we have to manage it anyway. I need your help for some details. Respond to them.
If you rub your hand on her red itchy spots, can you feel like a sandpaper like texture or the skin is smooth to rub on it???
Have you noticed any change in her color of white of eyes??
Does she have fever too?? If yes can you tell me after checking with a thermometer (if possible)??
Is she vaccinated properly on time?? Or she is missing any vaccinations??
Has she had same kind of illness prior to this episode??
Please spare some time to upload well lit good resolution pictures of her eyes, red itchy spots (all of them wherever she has).
MEDICATIONS GUIDE:-
Tylenol and Benadryl both by mouth after disscussing with your Pediatrician.
ProCort ointment on the skin eruptions.
For shower she should use Oatmeal milk and honey body wash. It will relieve itching. Don't use scented soaps. Avoid direct sunlight and heat exposure.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back and thanks for posting a follow up query. I am happy to assist you.
I have received 3 pictures same for her eyes. No picture of the red itchy rash uploaded. Now on the basis of the available data, your daughter doesn't seem to have chickenpox. It may be a skin allergic reaction and usually this type of lesions are self limiting and heals up soon.
For management, I have already guided in detail. Kindly refer back to above answer and start treatment as aforementioned.
