Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The main ingredients of talcum powder are talc, boracic acid, magnesium carbonate, and fragrances, among others. Talcum powder is also divided into two types—adult and children's—due to the different amounts of boracic acid it contains. In addition to absorbing sweat and keeping the skin smooth, talcum powder can also help reduce the occurrence of heat rash. If babies ingest it, it is non-toxic.
