Answer 3

Yes, you can take a bath at any time when you have the measles. However, here are some important things to know:

• The water should be lukewarm, not hot. Hot water will increase the itching.
  
• Do NOT use bubble baths or oils.
• Use the very smallest amount of soap and only where you really must, or in other words your armpits and privates.
• If you have measles on your face, cup both hands to "toss" water -- BUT keep your eyes closed! Or use a wet cloth and just dab / pat areas of your face where it feels the greasiest. Do NOT rub or scrub.
• Do NOT rub or scrub. INSTEAD pour water over a body part and then dab or pat with a wet washcloth. You can cup your hand to pour small portions of water on your arms, for example.
• When you step out of the tub, ONLY PAT DRY -- NO RUBBING. You might be extra itchy after the warm water, so pat dry and apply any medication creams or ointments the doctor told you to use.
• Do NOT use any powders or perfumes after the bath.
• Dress in cotton pj's or other soft fabric. *If you are an adult, try leaving off clothes for a while (as long as you are warm enough). The air will help to dry the measles.
• Continue to take your temperature and any medications your doctor prescribed or suggested.

Do NOT bathe 2 children together who both have the measles; do NOT reuse the same water to bathe another child; make sure to thoroughly clean the tub AND give time for the tub to dry before the next child bathes. A child could react negatively to smelling bleach.

BE SURE THAT----

1. NO ONE ELSE USES THAT TOWEL AND WASHCLOTH.

2. YOU LAUNDER THE ITEMS YOU USED RIGHT AWAY, DON'T LET THEM SIT WET WITH OTHER LAUNDRY.

3. USE ONE-HALF CUP OF BLEACH IN A BUCKET OF FRESH HOT WATER... POUR IT ON THE SIDES AND BOTTOM OF THE TUB; RINSE LIBERALLY WITH A SHOWER HOSE OR A BUCKET OF FRESH WATER. RINSE THE TUB VERY WELL.

4. As always, use caution when using bleach. Do NOT mix it with other cleaning products.

* If you or the child does not feel well enough for a tub bath, just wash up at the sink. Same advice as above: very little or no soap, tepidly warm water (not hot), pat dry, don't use powders or perfumes, and keep laundry separate and wash those items soon after using them.

Answer 4

Yes, a child with measles should be given a bath. An oatmeal bathe would decrease the itching the child has. A bath will also relax the child and aid in falling asleep.
