Chicken pox... oh boy.. not fun! I had them as a child but my brother got them as a teen and I remember he was miserable.
Aveeno makes a good oatmeal bath that helps with itching. Definitely don't scratch anywhere you don't want a scar! I have one tiny one from scratching at the bumps, but I was five and nobody told me not to! LOL, well, they probably did, but hey, at five you don't always listen to good advice!

Hydrocortisone cream is an anti-itch cream. Basically, it's an anti-histamine. Histamines are the things in your body that *cause* you to feel "itchy". Hydrocortisone blocks those hystamines so you don't itch. Or you don't itch as *much*. But check with the doctor first to make sure it would be okay. A quick phone call should do it.

[img]redface.gif[/img] aarg, guess i'll quit doing that then [img]tongue.gif[/img] but i'll have long hair, so they'll be covered by that...hopefully...I can just pray i DON'T get bald patches, eew. No, that doesn't sound good.
[EDIT] but pouring cold water over myself every time it ictehs will give me brainfreeze eventually [img]tongue.gif[/img] , and it's still not the most pleasant experiance in the world, but it's better than the itching. [ 12-15-2004, 09:12 AM: Message edited by: TheGodThatFailed ]

LOL! Well, you'll just have to decide which you'd rather have...a bit of smelly lotion on you, brain freeze and a porridge bath or ITCHING FROM HADES!!!

They're really annoying. I've had them when I was young. I can remember they itched a lot unless I was doing something which took my mind away from them. I also had a long time free from school

LOL, you've got a few weeks til they dry up, most likely, so I'd try something to ease the itching... whether it's oatmeal or hydrocortisone or soaking your head.. LOL I hope you don't go stir crazy! hehe Maybe you can distract yourself with a good movie or playing a game or something. [img]smile.gif[/img]
