Most children will get
chickenpox at some
stage, usually before the
age of four. Generally the
symptoms are mild, although
the
spots can be very
itchy, scratching them can lead to
infection and
long-term
scarring, which is a major
worry for
parents.
When a child
does contract
chickenpox,
Dr Chris Steele, the resident doctor on ITV's
This
Morning programme, has urged
parents "to ditch the calamine lotion in
favour of
Care ViraSoothe Chickenpox Relief Cooling Gel" to help ease the
misery of
chickenpox itching.
Dr Chris says that
Care ViraSoothe: "is a
revolutionary
new product that is specifically formulated to relieve the
irritating symptoms of chickenpox. The cooling gel helps to
break the itch,
scratch, infection cycle, soothing and calming the itch and helping to
avoid
long-term scarring."
Care ViraSoothe is gentle enough to use on the
face and
body and can be used on children as young as
six months. It costs £5.73/50g and
£8.33/75g and is available from Boots, Sainsbury's, Lloyds Pharmacy, Morrison's,
Co-op pharmacy, Asda Pharmacy, independent pharmacies and online.
Care ViraSoothe has teamed up with
