Why The Itchy Rashes Of Chicken Pox Are Still On My Granddaughter S Skin?
my granddaughter had the vacince for chicken pox but she also got chicken pox the beginning of March. She went to the Dr and it was confirmed chicken pox and too anitiboitc for it. The rash never blistered and she still has the rash and it stil itches. Is this normal? what can they do to help her?
Thanks for putting up your query at HealthCareMagic. I understand the cause of your concern. In general if a child is properly immunised for chicken pox, the disease does not occur, at least within a certain period of time. But it is not impossible altogether. Moreover, there are many viral infections that cause rashes with fever and this is more likely to be some other viral infection that your granddaughter is suffering from. If the rashes itch, better use Caladryl lotion (Calamine lotion) or any other moisturising lotion which is expected to give some relief.
I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back with further queries if any.
