Our Chicken Pox bumps have evolved into poison oak!!

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Thanks a million for all the responses.I felt like I wasn't alone dealing

with these strange bumps on my son. By 10:00 yesterday morning they turned

into a rash with lots of fluid and I took him to the dermatologist. It took

him 2 seconds to see it was poison oak. He was in poison oak 2 weeks ago

and must have broke out from touching his shoes this week. The Derm. Said

the resin is on clothes and shoes until they are washed and that is why

there was the delay. My homeopath recommended oatmeal cool baths and rhuf

tox remedy (from Whole Foods). We are helping him with the 'itch' with the

pink lotion and he is improving. The Derm prescribed a 'fire extinguisher'

to kick start the healing of the oozing ones. We are thrilled that it isn't

contagious and he can enjoy all the parties that start today for Halloween!

Thanks again-

Christy
