When can I start washing after chickenpox?
Children are easier to tolerate chickenpox than adults, but even at such a young age (from 6 to 12 years old), chickenpox does not flow asymptomatic. Itching, abundant rashes and an increase in temperature are the norm with chickenpox. Naturally, with this course of the disease, parents are lost and do not know what to do. Is it possible to bathe a child so as not to harm.
It turns out that if earlier, at the end of the last century, doctors recommended not to swim in the acute period until all rashes appear, then today the opinions of specialists have changed.
