Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
Well, chicken pox lesions are generally in many forms present simultaneously in the body. The blisters and pustules mostly cause the pain. It then dries, and then clears off. To fasten the drying do the following-
rub calamine lotion as you were doing before
add 3ml of potassium permanganate solution to 5litres of warm water and bath with it



Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
