Question 1

my granddaughter put diaper ointment with zinc oxide in her head of hair how can we get it out she's only 3?

Accepted Answer

Oily hairdo: It won't actually cause any harm, so I certainly wouldn't do anything potentially harmful to remove it.   A non-toxic shampoo is all I would recommend.   Other than that, use barrettes or a ponytail band and add the story to your baby book.   Best wishes.

Question 2

hi there can zinc oxide nappy cream get stuck behind penis glans rim or does it dispear?

Accepted Answer

Disappear: it doesn't get stuck behind the glans of the penis rim and will disappear.

Question 3

could i put desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) on my pubic/butt area to get rid of bumps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can: but you may not see the results you are looking for.  Desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) and similar rash creams are intended to act as barriers to protect skin from irritation from stool and urine, and to protect eroded skin while it is healing.

Question 4

i use sudocrem (zinc oxide rash cream)for acne at night.works great.but when i use it i feel like my anxiety and depersonalization get worse.possible?

Accepted Answer

Not from the cream: But, you may still be accurately noticing a connection to your use of it - to the process or to the fact that you need it or something. Again, it would not be the ingredients in the medication. This may be a good thing to talk to your behavior therapist about - they allow some feeling talk, right? If not, ask for a referral to do that. You're on the track of something that may help.

Question 5

i have a rash between my butt cheeks/near anal area. would desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) work? is it even possible for adults to get rashes like diaper rashes anymore?
