Chicken pox itching and insect bite
Dear Dr,
My son is suffering from chicken pox and he is having lot of itching... I want to know is there any particular ointment to relieve itching to some extent. And also yesterday he has been bitten by an insect (we are assuming), can see redness on the area with a biting mark like one dot. And around that area the skin has become lil hard then rest of the skin... And the area is swollen...
Pls guide.
Its urgent! Thanks in advance.
