after taking our 16 month baby to the swimming pool she has come out in a rash which is on her body and arms and legs. It has been 3 days since. Is this due to the chlorine in the water

Aqueous cream is the best for these sort of conditions, but chlorine is very bad on young skin as the pours are very open and the immune system is not strong until 4 yrs. plus. Pools are a good place for youngsters if very well run, but also a bad place due to hygine, too much chlorine skin irritation, too little skin infection, see your GP.

My son had a foul diaper rash while he replaced into 7 months previous by using fact he had diarrhea for a pair of days, from a abdomen computer virus. It replaced into terrible. each and every time your son wets his diaper or poops, do not wipe it with something. particularly in simple terms stand him up in the tub bath and rinse him with luke heat water purely. Afterwards, pat him dry and you will shop making use of diaper rash cream, or use Resinol. Resinol is a medicated ointment that my neighbor gave me to help with diaper rash (even though it quite is not distinctive as diaper rash cream) and it worked so nicely. you do not could use lots, like with diaper rash cream as slightly is going an prolonged good way. you will locate it at Walmart and a small jar could run you around $6, regardless of the undeniable fact that it quite is well worth it. while my son had his rash his little backside replaced into very almost as pink as a tomato and making use of the ointment as quickly as, day after today his backside replaced into like a bubblegum pink. It worked large. I purely advise rinsing him after peeing and pooping by using fact his pee could additionally aggravate his rash and you % a sparkling backside to artwork with once you prepare something.
