Chicken pox blisters severely itching and having so much burning sensation. Even tried calamine lotion but not working. What's the solution for this? Can't even sleep or sit due to blisters? (Too much restlessness) What's your suggestions?

Yes chicken pox does cause a lot of itching. If you scratch the rashes, there are high chances of permanent scarring specially on face which looks very bad. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment advice. Itching can be suppressed.
