If you’ve got little ones, it’s likely that they’ll catch chickenpox at some point before adulthood. And while this illness can bring about some uncomfortable symptoms (and a whole lot of scratching), there are plenty of treatments out there to help get them back to their best – Enter: PoxClin Cool Mousse. Today, we’re giving you the lowdown on this go-to chickenpox treatment, along with some other need-to-know remedies!
Note: If your child catches chickenpox, seek professional advice from their GP and follow the NHS guidelines.
What is chickenpox?
Chickenpox is a contagious infection that’s most common among children but can affect adults, too. Physical symptoms include itchy red spots, which turn into blisters and scabs that eventually fall off. These are often accompanied with mild flu-like symptoms, e.g. fever, tiredness and loss of appetite.
Because of its contagious nature, those with chickenpox will need to stay away from school or nursery until the spots have started to form scabs. According to the NHS, this is usually around five days after the spots start to appear.
What is PoxClin Cool Mousse?
PoxClin Cool Mousse is a chickenpox treatment that’s applied directly to the skin to reduce symptoms such as redness, itchiness and irritation. Thanks to its lightweight mousse texture, it provides an instant cooling effect that soothes the skin and promotes faster healing.

Other ways to combat chickenpox
Speak to a GP or pharmacist about the best antihistamines for your child, as these will help to reduce the itchiness of the spots.
Ensure that your child drinks plenty of fluids during the day to prevent dehydration.
Cut your child’s nails short to prevent them from causing damage when scratching and delaying healing.
Put gloves/socks on your child’s hands overnight to prevent them from scratching during the night.
Dress your child in loose, flowy clothing to minimise irritation.
Bathe your child in lukewarm water, as hot water can increase the urge to itch.
Bring down a temperature and flu-like symptoms by giving your child paracetamol.
