Anyone got amazing tips to help my 5 year old? Been giving her oat baths. Ordered some anti itch cream. Tried a head and shoulders bath. She is covered and in pain. She keeps saying her front bum hurts. The first spot was Friday but today she's getting more and more. Thanks in advance!! She's also got loads on her face near her eye

virasoothe gel. They may do it in a spray now.

Dd had it bad. I threw everything at the situation. We did oats in the bath but also dermol 500 as it’s anti microbial and I was worried about the ones on her genitals getting infected. Poxicillin mousse and virasoothe I tried both but she seemed to get the most relief out of old fashioned chamomile lotion but I carried on putting the poxicillin mousse on her bottom as that blocks bacteria. You can give piriton for the itching as well

When they scabbed over I used hydromol ointment rubbed in all over to help the scarring. She only has one small scar
