What is the best oatmeal bath product?

Steel Cut Oats: You can make your own oatmeal bath product by putting 1/2 cup of steel cut oats and mixed into your bathwater. Oat baths are helpful when someone is itching due to insect bites as well as with itchy infections such as chicken pox. Make sure you drain the bath water with large amounts of water so you don''t create an oatmeal plug in your drain.

Colloidal oatmeal: For an oatmeal bath you can use unflavored instant oatmeal, quick oats, or regular slow cooking oats or you can just purchase colloidal oatmeal. Oatmeal baths can sooth itching, inflammation or irritation from dry skin, diaper rash, sunburn, poison ivy or oak, insect bites, eczema, psoriasis, chicken pox & contact dermatitis.
