    A handful of rolled oats in the bath can work wonders - but he might not like that? If not tie some up in a stocking or cloth and throw that in the bath with him. No smell there!

    I was going to say rolled oats too, or baking soda / bi carb in the bath.

    Calamine afterwards, as often as needed.... also lavender essential oil is supposed to help but the smell might not work for him.

    I also wonder if Chamomile tea, cooled would help with the itching if you apply it directy?

    dermaveen sells a product called bath treatment which is for the chicken pox! I bought it for my kids when they had it, they didnt sound as bad as your ds, i hope he feels better soon, we used the spray on calamine lotion too and panadol.
