A member asked:
Chickenpox : my blisters have crusted most had form scabs and some dropped off when am i fully recovered.is there any special way of bathing for it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oatmeal baths: Oatmeal baths are very soothing to the skin and historically have been useful after infection with chicken pox. Also make sure no matter what you use for bathing that you moisturize your skin after. Aloe containing lotions are very good for this and will help keep scarring to a minimum. Make sure to use sun screen as well.
