Calamine for heat rash

2021-06-17 12:09:42
Hi doc I was recommend Calamine lotion for my 11 months old baby due toh heat rash and allergy from Dabur lal tel. My chemist gave me MELAMINE LOTION. Please suggest me, is it safe for babies. If i apply it to my baby's hand and if she licks it, will that be worrisome as she licks everything nowadays. Thanks in advance.

Better to use baby friendly moisturising lotion. Not safe to lick as its primarily for skin application.

Thank you for your query calamine lotion is safe for your baby’s skin but should avoid licking the lotion Symptoms are usually mild and self-limited if ingested but better avoid it You can try baby oils or baby moisturisers which are safer
