Is it ok to use Eurax lotion on a 19 month old who has chicken pox?

It says to ask GP if using on an under 3 year old but I wondered in practice if it's ok to use. Has anyone been told it's ok in an otherwise healthy 19 month old?

Many years ago I used to do the PR for this brand. We were always told not to use on under 3's. There's better stuff on the market now to deal with chickenpox. Boots stocks some great products.

Hope your LO gets better soon. It's horrible when they're covered with spots and grumpy.

I used Piriton with all 3 of mine as it helped with the itch and knocked them out at night so they could get some sleep. But not sure whether 19 mo is too young for this.
