It could just be as simple as a bit of dry skin - even if it doesn't look dry, it can still become itchy. I suffer this as do my two little ones.
Aqueous cream works a treat - you could even put some emollient (oilatum) in her bath.
She could be allergic to wool. If I wear a wool jumper I have to wear a full sleeved cotton t-shirt underneath and even then I still get itchy from time to time.
Do you have any pets?

You could try bicarb of soda baths as are good for relief from chickenpox so may help her.

Maybe a barrier cream to see if it's an inside or outside issue so to speak.
Does she drink enough liquids? It may be that she is dehydrated and this is causing her skin to itch.
