Hi Doctor, Can I use aquaphor cream to my baby he is 10 months old his cheeks got red , please suggest on it Thanks

A. hello there this rash is due to the hot and humid temperature outside and is known as heat Rash or prickly heat or gomariya you can use aquaphor cream but it is very costly and there is no contraindication in using it you can also follow the following procedure Apply cetaphil lotion Sprinkle prickly heat powder. Move the child to a cool area at the first sign of a heat rash. Keep the skin cool and dry. Apply a cool compress to the affected area. Rinse away oil and sweat with cool water, then gently pat the area dry. Regularly clean skin folds to make sure trapped sweat and oil do not make the rash worse. Allow the baby to go naked to keep the skin cool. Use air conditioning or fans to help keep the skin cool Keep the baby hydrated
