    Are you sure it's not chicken pox? *poxonthebrain*

    I have no idea what to do about mozzie bites, savlon? Will the antihistamine do anything?

    Hahaha. Sorry, have to laugh...yep, sure it's not the pox. They're only on his legs. Antihistimine should stop the itching.

    I have savlon, though that won't relieve the itching will it? I don't have any calamine otherwise I would use that first. He hasn't had it before and I'm just really unsure if I should give it to him when he's going to bed in case of a reaction...maybe I will just see how he goes through the night.

    savlon says that it can be used on insect bites but im not sure if it does relieve itching. Cant hurt to give it a try!

    I'm alergic to insect bites and calamine is the worst thing ever! Makes things a gazzillion times worse once it dries.

    There is a 3 or 4 way antiseptic cream you can get which also has an anti inflammatory and a anaesthetic. Just checked my tubes and there's no age limit I can see on it.
