I also used pinetarsol. I hate the smell but it really helps. I got a 1L bottle from the chemist and I use it for other things too (like its great for thrush). ]]> Thu, 16 Jul 2009 10:35:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27494&PID=723902&title=chicken-pox-help-please#723902 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27494&PID=723850&title=chicken-pox-help-please#723850 Author: Bobbie

We did baking soda - 1tsp in the baby bath (so you'll want to up the amount) when Rowan was a baby and had weeping nappy rash.

I know it's not exactly the same but probably the same principle.]]> Thu, 16 Jul 2009 09:53:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27494&PID=723850&title=chicken-pox-help-please#723850 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27494&PID=723594&title=chicken-pox-help-please#723594 Author: xLUCKYx

We also used pinetarsol and I would give Gabrielle a sponge bath with it during the night - she was miserable with it. Hope Sophie gets well soon!]]> Wed, 15 Jul 2009 21:03:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27494&PID=723594&title=chicken-pox-help-please#723594 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27494&PID=723504&title=chicken-pox-help-please#723504 Author: Andriea

Put her in a bath of Pinetarsol. Also Hypercal cream will be safe to use. That is the only things I used on Alia when she had a really nasty dose & yep they were everywhere too]]> Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:45:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27494&PID=723355&title=chicken-pox-help-please#723355 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27494&PID=723345&title=chicken-pox-help-please#723345 Author: weegee

Well my poor little Sophie has go chicken pox (a week before she was due to be vaccinated no less ). She is mostly OK BUT a large amount of the spots are in and around her bottom (front and back).

I am being super careful during nappy changes to be very gentle and I am using muslin clothes and little flannels with water to wipe (rather than baby wipes) but my question is: what can I use to sooth the area? I have Calamine lotion and Weleda Combudoron gel for the rest of her body but I can't use in in and around this area.

PLEASE does any one have any ideas of what I could add to the water to help sooth and calm the area, it looks so sore ]]> Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:16:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27494&PID=723336&title=chicken-pox-help-please#723336
