Question
My dr prescribed cutivate, my 5 month old sons back is full of dry skin so I rubbbed the cutivate ream all over his back then I did a search on the cutivate and it said do not apply the cutivate in large areas because it is absorbed into the bloodstream and there could be serious health affects. Immediately after reading this I took baby wipes and tried to wipe some off. Just worried he might of gotten too much. I applied the same amount about a week ago not knowing I was only supposed to apply in small patches
Answer
Hi Jennifer,
You have done right, do not use the cream all over, but at the most affected parts. It might have been effective to give him a warm water wash too. Now wait for two days before you use the product again. Talk to your doctor about products such as urea containing creams, which may be available in your country.
