Hi rayray,

I hope your DS doesn't have the dreaded pox! They're awful!

I had them for the 1st time when i was 21 (found out on NYE too!) I had never had them before, and i hadn't been around anyone (that i knew of) that had it when i got them, so i'm assuming its an airborne thing.

They're much worse in adults though, i had them in my mouth, my ears and in my eyes! They were everywhere! So i would take your DS ASAP to get his vaccination, it may reduce the severity if he does have it.

And Pinetarsol is great for taking out the itch, they make a bath formula and there's a gel type which is like a liquid soap consistency, i find the bath formula stains the skin yellow, but the gel one doesn't stain.

Hope that helps a bit, hope your DS is ok
