Hi,

It is very unusual for chicken pox to repeat in lifetime because an infection with chicken pox usually gives life long immunity. Anyway the home remedies for chicken pox are as follows:

- Apply calamine lotion.
- Calamine lotion can help reduce itching.
- Bathe in oatmeal.
- Wear mittens to prevent scratching.
- Take baking soda baths.
- Use chamomile compresses.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma,
