chicken pox on girls bits

[sparklymieow]

can I put calamine lotion on there??

Not sure sparkly - but calamine dries and itches as much as the spots anyway.

Try zinc & castor oil cream - it's made for nappy rash but is brilliant for chicken pox.

Sprinkle bicarb in her bath - mine have just had this horrid little illness and said it helped a lot. Used piriton too to help with the itching. Wouldn't have put calamine in her 'bits' though.

You can get aqueous calamine, which is great for those parts. Also, tie a handful of porridge oats in a piece of old tights and put that in her bath together with a tablespoonful or two of cornflour. Let her swish and squeeze the bag of oats to extract the creamy gunk into the bathwater. It's very effective at soothing the skin, and the cornflour leaves their skin very silky, as if you had talcumed them, whihc also makes the spots less itchy. Hope she feels better soon. IIRC, the girl's bits spots only bothered my dd for a week, max.

i used calamine on the bits area

my husband even caught them and got them down there too, bet he will love me for sharing that

Well we knew it would happen, as DS had it two weeks ago, DD1 has a few spots but lots on her bits and DD2 has them everywhere.....

i did for my dh and it seemed to help but the aqueous calamine sound prefect

A cup of well brewed cammomile tea added to the bath helps soothe too. The porridge thing works a treat, as outlined below ...

If she's really bothered by the spot, several baths during the day with the porridge thing will help get through the day activity wise and soothing wise!!!

I used good old sudocrem on the girly area.

oops i said dh i meant dd

is it part of foreplay natts

sparklymieow I feel for you dd as I had chicken pox at 18 and hardly got any spots except for in horrible areas like genitals, my eyeball, down my throat and in my ears! It was awful. I didn't use calamine on sensitive areas, I used a general antiseptic cream like Savlon, I guess equivalent would be sudocreme for a little one? I hope she gets better soon.

I gave my DD a porridge oats bath last night as she was up with the scratching, worked a treat, straight to sleep afterwards (4am! still asleep now though!)

Dd had chickenpox spots everywhere - including 'girl's bits' and up her bum.

the pharmacist recommended Oilatum, which you pour in the bath, and this did seem to have a soothing effect.

its ok to put calamine there

piriton is great for chickenpox, especially at night

how old is dd?
