Tot Suffering With Chicken Pox, Intense Over Nappy Area, Head And Neck. Which Cream Will Give Maximum Benefits?
Hi, my 16-month-old daughter has chicken pox . The doctor prescribed Foban cream, but said only use this with very red spots. She has quite a lot of spots in her nappy area, head and neck . Some of them have broken. Can I use Foban cream for her? The doctor also gave her Calamine Lotion. So what should I use for her to have best result? Thank you for your advice.
