A. Calamine lotion can be used for heat rashes in children, including an 8-month-old, but here are some considerations: 1. Patch Test: Before applying calamine lotion, do a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reactions. 2. Application: If there’s no reaction, you can apply a thin layer of calamine lotion to the affected area to soothe the rashes. 3. Keep Area Dry: Ensure the neck area stays cool and dry, as heat rashes are exacerbated by moisture and friction. 4. Loose Clothing: Dress your baby in loose, breathable clothing to reduce irritation. 5. Avoid Irritants: Keep the area free from potential irritants, like harsh soaps or lotions. 6. Consult a Pediatrician: If the rash persists, worsens, or if you have any concerns, consult your pediatrician for appropriate treatment. Always prioritize your child's comfort and health when using any topical treatments.
