Question 2

Accepted Answer

Question 3

my 8 weeks baby, has been having rush on his body and face. we no longer put lotion on his face and iy getting better, for body we left johnson products and are using aqueous cream, but it seems it is getting worse. please help my baby.

Accepted Answer

Patience: Baby acne is a common and temporary  problem.It usually appears by age 2 weeks and disappears by 3 months. Keeping the skin clean is the major plan. If it persists after 3 months and or intensifies, some normal ace treatments can be beneficial, but the doc should look into unusual hormonal issues as a cause at that point.

Question 4

my 18 month old has dry patches on her arms and legs. what is the best thing to use when lotion doesn't work? have used johnson and johnson's baby lotion

Accepted Answer

Dry : Dry skin is a very common issue among children and adults.  Here are a few tips to keep you from itching.

- bathe daily with a moisturizing soap such as dove or aveeno (oatmeal).  Do not use drying soaps like ivory which can make skin even drier.

- apply moisturizer immediately after the bath while the skin is still damp

- use an odorless, colorless thick cream moisturizer such as eucerine or aquaphor.  It may be a little greasy, but it'll seal in the moisture much better than a lotion.

If the patches are becoming red, scaly, irritated, or just aren't improving, call your child's doctor.  Your child may have eczema (extremely dry skin) and may benefit from topical steroids to get the flare under control.  Good luck.

Question 5

is it safe to use cetaphil body wash and cream/lotion on a 6 week old baby face for hives and dryness or should i just use johnson's with oatmeal?

Accepted Answer

Always check: What ever you use, make sure that you do a patch test before using it on the baby. Make sure your baby is not allergic to it before you use it. If your baby has hives already you might want to consult with the pediatrician before using a new product. Good luck!

Question 6

does johnson baby lotion help clear up ance and spots?

Accepted Answer

No: Johnson baby lotion is just a mild, scented lotion and not particularly helpful for acne. A mild soap and acne medication containing salicylic acid is more effective for acne.

Question 7

how effective is the johnson body care lotion in keeping your skin hydrated and healthy?

Accepted Answer

Dry skin?: There are several good moisturizers out there.  The best time to apply your moisturizer is immediately after a bath or shower.  For the cold dry air in the winter, you may need something thicker and more like a cream rather than a lotion.

Question 8

what if you had steven johnson syndrome from a medication that you need to take. can you ever potentially take that medicine again in the future?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, No: you cannot have this medicine again in the future, your doctor will have to seek an alternative. If it were just a severe allergic reaction or even anaphylaxis, and no alternative available, desensitization can be tried by an allergist/immunologist, but in of case of history of SJS caused by the drug, desensitization won't work, the drug has to  be avoided, good luck

Question 9

hi i am currently taking penicillin phenoxymethyl can i get steven-johnson syndrome from this medication i am so frightened i am also taking sertraline im so scared im going to get this?

Accepted Answer

: Look up specifically the exact med you are taking in Drugs.com.  SJ is very rare so I would worry about other things. Discuss your worries with your Dr. They can help better than we can here.

Question 10

i use johnson and johnson baby wash or sometimes magic baby wash. is it ok to use it as my body wash? or do i need something strong? since i'm a adult

Accepted Answer

Fine to use baby pro: You may use baby products.  Usually baby products have less perfumes and scents and are generally less allergenic.
