Soothe the Chicken Pox with PoxClin Cool Mousse!

Every parent frets when their child catches chickenpox.   But now there is a new cooling treatment to help relieve the itch.

Most children in Ireland catch chickenpox between the ages of one and eight.   The illness itself is usually quite mild but the blistery, fluid-filled spots that come with it can be terribly itchy – making your child restless and irritable and, often unable to settle at night.

So how can you make it better?   Until recently, pretty much all you could do was stand by with cuddles and sympathy – and warnings not to scratch to avoid scarring or in case the spots got infected.   Now there is a product that can really help.   PoxClin Cool Mousse is a new treatment that offers natural, effective relief from the symptoms of chickenpox and is available from pharmacies nationwide.

PoxClin Cool Mousse should be applied to the spots at least 3 times a day and contains a patented bio-active bacterial blocker derived from the aloe barbadensis plant.   This reduces the chance of the spots becoming infected and supports the skin’s natural healing process, as well as easing the itching.   And for extra cooling effect, you can store the mousse in the fridge.

PoxClin Cool Mousse makes catching chickenpox less of a pain for your child – and less of a strain for you as is depicted in a recent testimonial… “...My two children aged 2 and 3 recently suffered from chicken pox.   Initially I was not aware that a product such as PoxClin existed so on the first child I had no option but to use traditional remedies.   However a week later when I discovered my second child had been infected, I discovered PoxClin in my local pharmacy.    Immediately upon use, it relieved the itching sensation not to mention the fact that the second child has absolutely no scarring as a result.   I kept the bottle in the fridge at all times to increase the cooling sensation and relief for the child.   Also, as there was no sticky residue from the mousse, it meant I could put the child’s clothes straight back on.    I would highly recommend PoxClin as a remedy for chicken pox above anything else on the market...”...Anita Doherty, Co.
