How do i make an oatmeal bath for shingles? where do u buy oatmeal to do this? are they speaking about oatmeal that u make to eat?

The flour like powder created by the milling of oatmeal is often available in packets at a variety of pharmacies. This is added to bathwater to give a soothing effect. The oatmeal you eat will just make a mess.
