Calomine lotion is recommeded for chicken pox, and if you're in desperate need and don't have any other choice, oatmeal eases the itch.

Just to be clear, I didn't mean eating the oatmal, but putting it on the pox themselves.

Yup, calamine lotion works a treat. It did when I had it as a child! The less you scratch, the less it spreads. Be very careful, chicken pox is dangerous as an adult. The oatmeal, if you put it in the foot of a stocking or pair of tights, take it to the bath with you and use it as a sponge to wash your skin with, it works very well.
