Chicken pox
by sesha on Jun 27, 2005 04:34 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I dont understand the following:
If I give a head bath with shampoo: water and soap will enter the sores, will this not infect further?
How will I get his hair and body dry, if I give a head bath?
2. Normally when you give a chana dal bath, you scrub the body. Am I supposed to scrub the body with chana dal when he has the infection? Then will he not get infection? Will the dal powder not enter the sores and create infection??
I find this article hard to beleive

The head bath will not cause infection and will only help keep the body cool. As for the chana dal bath, scrubbing is not at all recommended. The bath should not be given when the blisters are at their peak cause breaking them will cause scarring.
