Plenty of baths with porridge oats - put LOADS of porridge oats into a sock, tie it off with an elastic band to keep the oats from floating around & clogging up your drains. Run the water directly onto the oats, when they warm up they release an amazing goop that is super healing. & It's SO much less expensive than the Aveeno bath oils advertised for chicken pox. I did 2 of these baths a day with my two when they were covered in pox & it really helped heal everything up ASAP. If you can do more baths then do it. It definitely helped my boys skin so much & my two itched MUCH less after each bath. Best of luck 🀞🏼

PS. Oat baths were also a real time waster when they're off nursery/school.
I was able to get emails done on my phone whilst safely monitoring them in the bath & they got a play for aaaaaaages in the healing warm goopy water with whatever toy they wanted. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ Win win.
Good luck.
