In a post on Facebook, she put up photos of her daughter Reagan’s spots alongside Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, which costs £1.50 at Tesco, and wrote: “Anyone whose kiddies pick up chicken pox I cannot recommend this enough!!
“Reagan went to the docs today and we were advised to use Head and Shoulders CLASSIC as a bubble bath to sooth the spot.
“The difference is unbelievable! Over an hour without a single scratch or moan! No more angry red spots. Hopefully this helps anyone else who’s at their wits end with scratching children.”
The post has now gone viral, being shared over 57,000 times in less than 24 hours and receiving over 16,000 comments from grateful mums.
