My younger cousin, she is 13 years old, recently got chicken pox. My aunt consulted an old friend, a doctor, who recommended spraying ethyl alcohol on the body to relieve itching. It helped for awhile but the rash spread. So my aunt remembered a remedy she heard about when visiting a pharmacy in Brighton Beach. The woman said something about an antiseptic called zelyonka or Brilliant Green being good for chicken pox. Nobody in my family knew what the antiseptic was. We searched on the internet and it turns out (after translating the Russian text) that it is used in Russia and the former Soviet Union as a chicken pox cure. My aunt had to go to Brighton Beach to get it, but the remedy works.
My cousin applied it daily to her spots, and the itching stopped and she could rest. It does leave a stain on the clothing so it is recommendable to wear old or unwanted clothing because after a while the antiseptic smears. But it helps. My cousin didn't feel itchy, and the zelyonka prevented any scarring. Now it's like she never had chicken pox at all. Not a single scar! But I warn you while you use the zelyonka you will look like something that escaped a Dr. Seuss story. The zelyonka washes off okay. Once all rashes are gone, a shower and a scrub will rid your skin of the green color. Good Luck! And don't scratch ;)
