There is a cover up cream for vericose veins that should do the trick. It's rather pricey but I've seen people who've used it and it's some amazing stuff. \n  You know.. you really shouldn't worry about the spots on your legs. You have just as much right to wear shorts as anyone else does. If they don't want to look at your legs, then they don't have too. I've seen all kinds of people wearing shorts from people with fat rolls, vericose veins, scars and everything else and it's never bothered me or anyone else I know.  People probably won't even be looking at your legs so why suffer in the heat over something as silly as chicken pox scars? \n  You're not alive simply for others to look at, you're alive to make yourself happy so stop making yourself miserable. I'll bet that if you went out for a month in your shorts and skirt, you would stop worrying so much about your legs. I'll bet the only ones who even notice are short folks.

No- there is nothing to make it cease immediately.  Healthy children with chickenpox may need only home treatment. This includes taking acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) or ibuprofen (such as Advil) to reduce fever and discomfort and taking nonprescription oral medications or using lotions to reduce itching. Medical treatment may include a shot of chickenpox antibodies to delay or prevent a person from having chickenpox, and also may include antiviral medication to shorten the length of the disease. The chickenpox (varicella-zoster) vaccine also can be given if you have been exposed to chickenpox; this treatment may prevent you from having the illness. It is recommended that the vaccine be given within 3 days after exposure to chickenpox.  Calamine lotion and Aveeno (oatmeal) baths may help relieve some of the itching.

I've had eczema for many years. I get it on my hands and feet mostly. Tiny little blisters from scratching. . The itch can be totally unbearable. Scratching also pops the blisters and the more you scratch the worse it seems to get. There are creams that you can get from your DR. That will help. \nChicken pox usually starts with a fever and not feeling well. and is all over your body. The rash usually last about 10days. And itches just as bad. Take her to the DR. if your really not sure.

They start out first looking like pimples that then fill up with fluid. You can almost watch more appear. Take her to a doctor to check as it is something you need to confirm as she will need to know when she is older if she has had them.\nIf it is chicken pox the best way to deal with the itchiness (and cheapest) get an old stocking and fill with uncooked oatmeal add it to a bath and let her lay in it. It really helped my kids. When the bath is finished just pull out the stocking empty it into the bin and redo when the scrathing starts again. I used a good antihistemene at night though as this not only stopped the scratching it helped them sleep. Good Luck

Hiding Mosquito Bite Scars on Legs \nTanning will not equalize the skintone on your legs. You can either try to hide the scars with concealer products such as Dermablend leg and body cover cream or Sally Hanson Instant Tan Spray. There is laser surgery available if you want to go that route. A dermatologist might recommend microdermabrasion. If you are at all prone to keloids surgery is not recommended.

I don't know of anything that will work "for good", but using lotion and wearing socks can help.  Also, don't pick at the skin on your feet.

Well you can purchase some cocoa butter cream and start rubbing that on the areas. Drink more water and in time they will blend with your skin.

Use wet compresses or give baths in cool or lukewarm water every 3 to 4 hours for the first few days. Oatmeal baths, available at the supermarket or pharmacy, can help to relieve itching. (Baths do not spread chickenpox.) \nPat (don't rub) the body dry. \nPut calamine lotion on itchy areas (but don't use it on the face, especially near the eyes). \nEat foods that are cold, soft, and bland because chickenpox in the mouth may make drinking or eating difficult. Try to avoid anything that's highly acidic or especially salty, like orange juice or pretzels.

antibiotic cream and lotion should help - neosporan- keep the leg clean and dry- and if all else fails, have it amputated and get a wooden one.

I have a lot but the one that stands out is when I was about 4 or 5.  I had chicken pox and I can remember my mom kneeling at me and dabbing calamine lotion on my pox.  It means a lot to me because she passed away 5 years ago and a couple of years before that, we had problems.  As simple as this memory is, it showed how much she loved me.

Get an anti fungal cream. They're available at the drugstore (ask your pharmacist) or at the grocery store. DO NOT use crystal violet dye. My dad (true story, I'm sorry to say) who's a scientist used some because he read it would kill jock itch. It turned his balls and dick purple and made the fungus mutate. To this day, I wish I'd seen the doctor's face when daddy dropped trou! :-)

I believe you have! I had the same thing happen on my thigh. It was a large area and was soooooo itchy!I took about 2 weeks to get back to normal. I did not seek medical help, but that might be the wisest thing to do

I've had various skin problems recently, and I found Unguentum and DiproBase helped the most. They're available in huge tubs, so you can really slap them on. A pharmacist should be able to advise if they are suitable for your skin (or alternative remedies if not)

Chicken pox is easy to recognize, because you have red spots. You can have it twice. I would go see the doctor...
