POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. 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.
