Hi there...
Please note 5 yr old is not a baby or a toddler.
He/she should be encouraged to run and play outdoors as much as possible and I believe this is healthy.
Sunscreens can be a double edged sword.
Best to use a 🧢 while playing or walking outdoors...in addition to sunscreen recommended by your Dermatologist.
For best results, please take some clear digital pics, 📥 them and connect via this App's INSTANT ONLINE Consultation and any of us Qualified senior Dermatologist' will guide you accordingly 🙏
Health Tips
Zinc Oxide cream (freshly prepared by a pharmacist near you) is probably best for your kid at this stage.
It acts as a blocking ☀️ protection and doubles as a moisturizer and astringent.
most important...it is safe and sans any chemicals.
