My 5 1/2 month old son was exposed to Chicken Pox and I was wondering if I should be worried about it? Thank you for your help

With kids so young, best to just be safe and go and get it checked out by a doc. :) - and oatmeal helps with the bumpy itchies. Poor little munchkin! I hope he feels better soon! And if your not into using the oatmeal, try this pink lotion you can get at the pharmacy.. I forget what its called.. but the pharmacist should know. Its pink, name starts with a c I think, and you need to shake it before you use it. Just q-tip it on. - o and good idea to put little mits/gloves on his hands in case he might try and pick at them. [i think they have little gloves like that in case baby might scratch himself with fingernails, when baby too young/figdety to clip nails well. :) ]
