Tight ass Tuesday...Porridge for skin issues?!?!

POX...WE HAD THE POX!!!!!
So as some of you know my 2 babies have had the chicken pox for the last month between them. Stressful time in our house as it coincided with both their birthdays. So parties were cancelled..twice..catering was cancelled...twice and my nerves were shattered...more than twice!!!!
First born little girl erupted the day before her birthday with a more than generous covering of the pesky pox. She was itchy and tired and withdrawn but mostly itchy.  Mr man erupted the day after his first birthday with a crazy amount of spots ..his poor little body was covered.
So I hopped in the car and headed to the chemist and supermarket. The chemist for an antihistamine and the supermarket for PORRIDGE OATS and pop socks!!!!
One of the best treatments for chicken pox is actually porridge oats..not ready brek..the actual oats. put them into a pop sock or tight leg and tie around the bath tap so the water flows through as you are filling the bath. Use nothing else!!
When added to bathwater, it creates a milky dispersion  so  when you get into the tub, the water feels silky, as it coats, moisturises, softens, and protects your skin.
Oats also works great to help relieve dry, skin patches , psoriasis, acne, sunburns, and  other itching and scratching rashes.
 Since colloidal oatmeal has an anti-itch property that helps reduce the “need to itch,” soaking in the bath brings soothing comfort to those infected.
When your skin is itchy and irritated, its pH level may be higher. Colloidal Oatmeal helps bring the pH back to normal levels, taming "the need to itch.
You may have the urge to take a hot bath, but this will only irritate the skin and remove moisture from your body, so a warm bath is preferable. Soak in the bath for ten to fifteen minutes.
When drying, don't rub your skin since this. can irritate the sore areas. Instead, pat yourself dry with a clean towel.
Thankfully little miss has made a full recovery and mr man is well on the way,we are way past the contagious stage so its great to get out of the house as cabin fever was setting in big time.
Now to organise parties...again!!!!
