Chicken Pox

Help!

I have a 2 year old with chicken pox, I can't find any poxclin or camomile lotion anywhere. I've been told there is a national shortage 😢

Can anyone recommend anything else ?

Thanks

Calpol. Piriton too to ease the itching. Other products u can take a look at on Amazon - Virasoothe, poxclin. Also swear by head and shoulders baths to soothe itching!

Sorry just saw u already looked for poxclin

Oat baths worked really well for my 4 year old last month.

Interested in this thread?

Piriton

Oat baths - put it in some old tights and squeeze out the gunge and run it all over them

Someone advised me on head and shoulders. It comes up on a Google search as well but I didn't try it

Ask on a local Facebook page for any spare PoxClin. I gave away 75% of a bottle we didn't need. Lots of people had spare and offered

*rub it all over them

Virasoothe gel is good. Also if you have a Lush nearby their "dream cream" is based on oats and soothes itchy skin - I put a big dollop in a luke warm bath and it really helped my dd - it does make the bath greasy and slippery after though so be careful!
