Get Avenno cream which works WAY better then calamine lotion.  The avenoo will stop the itcing and also dries out the pox faster.  I got four children through chicken pox and Avenno worked the best.  Also Avenno puts out an oatmeal bath that soothes the pox.    Good luck!

I'm sorry! Motrin or Tylenol may help too. There is a cream the Doc can give for the "private parts" http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/pa/pa_chickenp_hhg.htm
