oh my god ds had on factor 50 and has sunburn on his knees!

[stuffing]

my ds was in his buggy while we went for a walk both ds`s had factor 50 on just woken from his nap and has bright red patches on both knees obviously where the sun was on him i have applied aftersun but is there anything else i can do ?

I put factor 50 on my dss at the weekend and ds1 burnt anyway! Forgot they have a short shelf life and I used the botle from last year!

Not much to do except slap moisturiser on (doesn't have to be 'aftersun' specifically). I've been using Aveeno as we have it for ds2s excema anyway. Ds1 doesn't seem in the least bit bothered. Cool baths and cold water flannels on it if it bothers him, just the same as a 'normal' burn/scald.

hth

if you can get some use aloe vera gel.....fab for sunburn and takes the sting right out.

I know, I use sunblock and still burn.

Smear yoghurt on his knees.

ALoe vera is great, we have a plant in our kitchen!

thanks used aftersun as i had it from a few weeks ago when dp got sunburn he doessnt seem bothered by it it just looks so red thanks
