Hi.... I do not think that this is chickenpox. This could be any other simple viral exanthematous illness. If she had fever before this Rash we can be almost certain that it is a viral illness. But if it is subsiding by application of topical lotion then it could also be a simple allergy or Eczema. From next time I suggest that you upload the images on this website so that we will be in a better position to guide you. I am telling this because skin conditions are best diagnosed by directly seeing them.
