Patient's question:
My child is almost 5 months old. I have been washing her face with plain water, twice a day. But recently, I've noticed her skin isn't doing well—it's wrinkled, as described by the elderly as (spring). How should I care for an infant's skin? Now that she's 5 months old, can I use some children's skincare cream? What kind would be good?Doctor's answer:
A 5-month-old baby has delicate and sensitive skin, with a weak immune system, making it prone to epidermal inflammation, such as rashes, due to contact with clothing or temperature changes—most commonly eczema. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to apply creams or similar products on the baby's face. If the skin is indeed dry, you can use the Emurun skin care cream.Pediatric health issues have always troubled parents. When treating such conditions, it is advisable to opt for general treatment.
