Suggest Treatment For Small Pox On Labia In Child

my 3yr old daughter has chicken pox. she got her vaccine in 2009 and yet still has the chicken pox. i hear that 1-4% of kids who get the vaccine can still get the chicken pox. my only concern at this point is she has chicken pox on her labia. it started on one side but after a night of sleeping it is on both sides of her labia. it is very bother some to her and am i wondering if there is a home remedy that would benefit her in that area? should i have any other concerns with it being in that specific area as well?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for contacting HCM. You are concerned about your daughter having a chicken pox lesion on her labia. This is not a real concern and will heal. It may lead to a small scar but that will not interfere with her health. I would recommend that she not scratch the area. She can use oatmeal bathes to reduce the itching and take Benadryl for the itch.

Hope I answered your medical question. Please contact us again with your medical questions and concerns
