If you put a couple of handfuls of bicarbonate of soda in those cool bathes they will sooth for a couple of hours. You can buy boxes of bicarb from the chemist. Hope that helps,poor Bobby,get well soon little man

They been advertising a new cream on telly for chicken pox. Carnt remember what it called though its suppost to dry the spots better than camomile. Prob have it in boots if u ask. Hope bobby feeling better soon.

Try a porridge oats bath,put the oats in a old sock n tie it up n chuck it in the bath n run d hot water! Gr8 for eczema and sunburn too.

Try neat lavender oil,it's very soothing & safe :thumbsup:

Hope he's better soon!

found Aveeno oil to be good, you put it in the bath, it's a bit like porridge oats, the latter is probably cheaper.

Hope Bobby gets over it soon, can't be nice being itchy in this hot weather, I remember getting no sleep when mine had it ...lying awake all night with her in my bed watching she didn't scratch in her sleep worrying about scars on the face !

Apparently antihistamines will work for severe itching with chickenpox. Might be worth asking chemist about some if he's that bad. Get well soon Bobby :flowers:
