DD (5) has just spent the afternoon with a school friend. She is severely allergic to dairy and possibly allergic to peanuts so I left the friend's mum with a supply of 'safe' biscuits and drinks and her piriton and epipen.
they were doing some crafty thing and DD got glitter on her arm so the mum wiped her down with a baby wipe. Almost straight away she came up in an itchy rash of raised white lumps - something that has never happened with baby wipes before. The mum gave piriton and the rash went although 3 hours later DD still has raised red marks where I guess the lumps had been.
I have only used Pampers sensitive wipes (with no problems) but I think these were just standard Pampers wipes. I've looked at the ingredients for both but can't really see what might have caused the problem.
I've noticed on earlier threads when this topic has been raised, people have suggested that its the perfume in the wipes that cause the reaction and that by using home made wipes etc for nappy changes the problem would go away.
As we're past nappy changes now, I'm more concerned that there could be something in the wipes that DD could encounter elsewhere that would lead to another reaction.
any suggestions as to what it might have been?
