8 month old with a sunburn?!
Question:
8 month old with a sunburn?
My 8 month old was outside for less than 1/2 an hour yesterday with water babies spf 50 on and her little legs still got sunburned! Can I use aloe? Anything else I can do to help her feel better?
Answers:
aloe is good, sterile paraffin wax will also help - reapply every 4-6 hours
paraffin creates a seal stopping water leaving the body and reduces pain as it protects sensitised nerves. the paraffin imitates the natural oils secreted by the skin. skin cells are better able to multiply and regenerate with this treatment. pain is also helped. make sure you buy plenty of this paraffin - as the burn heals switch to aqueous cream bp.
