How do I soothe the itch from chicken pox?

It’s really hard for me to be able to tell you this.  Chicken pox is a virus, and I think the itchiness is caused by the skin trying to protect itself.  I think the best thing you can do is get your immune system to calm down and stop fighting it, and let your body heal.  If you try to block the itch with lotions, it’ll only increase the stress on your body.  If you try to scratch it, that’s more likely to make it worse.  You could give yourself an oatmeal bath to relax your skin.  Or try a painkiller with a little antihistamine.

I’m so glad you asked, itching from chicken pox can be extremely uncomfortable, and I think it can also interfere with healing.  The trick here is to focus on the positive aspects of things, such as keeping in mind that chicken pox is a pretty mild illness, and it only lasts about two weeks.  You could also talk to yourself about the fact that being exposed to chicken pox is usually not a very big deal, since most people recover quickly with very little discomfort.  Can you try this at home?
