My DS is nearly 6. All his spots have sccabbed over.
Is there a way of getting rid of the scabs quickly?
I know you mustn't pick at them, or scratch them, but is there any lotions you can put on them/in the bath, that will help?

I would leave well alone unless you want lots of scars.

Leave them, just put some cream on them. The scabs are there so the skin can repair itself. The blisters damage the skin so if you pull them off, you scar the skin and they will bleed. Just let them go by themselves.

Sorry I've just re-read my first post.
That should read that he is recovering from chicken-pox.

You are right scrooged.
Will deffinately not pull them off. But which cream would you reccommend?
