A member asked:
Can i use kojic soap when having a chicken pox?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Kojic soap is a skin whitening acid soap. It could dry the skin which could cause more irritation during chicken pox. Use a mild soap, such as aveeno, (oatmeal) or use baking soda in the bath to decrease itching. Use lukewarm water, not too hot, to help soothe the skin.
