AAnything I can put on ds' chicken pox'ed head?

[compo]

The rest of his body is covered in camolmile lotion but wondered if there is some shampoo or something I could drench his scalp with

I'm sorry compo but I have to say it

... a hat?

baths run through porridge oats (put handful in sock and tie round hot tap)

baths with bicarb of soda in them

maybe some oil on his scalp?

rub his scalp with calamine cream

very good stuff

Ah Twig, you have brightened my very dull day

ooh a serious answer
Camomile cream... I've only got lotion, I take it I need to buy cream (scrathes own head wondering how to get out with him to get it!)

cream is better

chemist has it

I have had two with Chicken pox in the last 3 weeks, infact dd is asleep with it now.

I bought the stock of Bicarb the other day and just washed her hair with some of it to relieve the scalp

Ive been told neem oil is good for the itcheyness , not sure how easy it is to get hold of. May be a health food place ?
