Chicken pox 18 days old

My baby has chicken pox he's only 18 days old, we have an urgent care appt later today but the nurse who saw him didn't know if I could use anything on his skin to help, has anyone had a baby this young with chicken pox before ? x

I've heard my stepson caught it when only 1 month old. He's absolutely fine now, he's 9 yo. Hopefully pharmacist should help

Poor mite maybe ask the pharmacy as they gave a soothing gel for DD says suitable from birth - calamine and aqueous mixed also helped they sell it combined xx

Oatmeal/porridge baths to soothe and calamine lotion is mild enough for a baby too. When this happened to a friends baby, they said a lukewarm bath twice a day was soothing. Hope they get better soon xx

Oh bless him. This must be heartbreaking for you. I wonder if squirting him with breast milk would soothe the spots? Wishing him a very speedy recovery xxxx

Shingles- know the facts

Shingles- know the facts Shingles is caused by chicken pox. If you have been vaccinated or have never had chicken pox then you will never get shingles. Residual chicken pox virus lives dormant in the nerve cells closest to the brain and spine. Later in life it can "reactivate" and spread up the nerve to the skin. It will affect only one half of the body at a time. It will look like chicken pox, but it will hurt, not itch. It is unbelievably painful! If you get a blister near your eye it can cause vision loss. It is usually triggered by a weakened immune system or stress. It is only contagious to those that have not been vaccinated AND have never had chicken pox. It doesn't matter to me if your kids are vaccinated or not. Mine are, so they are safe. I just want to make sure that you know the facts about what you are subjecting your children to later in life if you choose not to vaccinate for chicken pox. This concludes my public service announcement. Have a good day!
