Hi everyone,
After some advice/experience here.
We were out the other day and the weather was better than I had anticipated. I has our suncream in DC before leaving home and had some with me. After a few hours I went to reapply the cream and found the stuff i had with me didn’t have much left.
Trying to be diligent, I went to a shop and bought the only small bottle of cream they had. It wasn’t a brand we had used before to me but I used it on myself and two DC.
Yesterday, DC2 woke up with what looked like a heat rash. It got worse during the day and I took him in to the pharmacy for some advice and she figured he was having a reaction to the suncream. We got some piriton for children to help with the itching and some calomine with zinc oxide cream.
DC2 seems fine in himself except the itching. No other symptoms or fever, eating and drinking normally.
After a night of him kicking the covers off all night as he was ‘hot’ and itchy, we’ve woke this morning to the rash spreading to his face and scalp and legs, where it wasn’t yesterday.
Anyone advice? Anyone out there experienced this? How long did it last? WHat else can i do?
i feel so bad, I only bought it so he didn’t burn.
