Dont use calamine lotion it makes it itch more, the best thing to do it use lots of moisturiser. e45 or something like that emolient.
i only had chicken pox when i was 25!! and the docotr said calamine is the worst thing to use.

it will soothe at first but then it dries to a crust and makes the itching worse.
Believe me moisturiser was very soothing as it doesn't dry but gets absorbed.

Our doctor wants calamine banned lol!!

also biocarbinate of soda in a bath really soothes it

You can get a calamine cream that is more moisturising if that helps
other than that good luck
