My 15-day-old baby has developed a rash on her face, and I'm concerned about whether it's safe to use the Dermadew lotion there. We had a similar rash on her neck before, and our doctor recommended Dermadew, which seemed to help clear it up. Is it okay to use it on her face too? Also, I'm curious about what might be causing these rashes on her skin. Any idea what could be going on?

Yes, you can use dermadew lotion on your baby's face for the rash. The rash on your baby's skin could be due to various reasons such as irritation from clothing, heat, drooling, or a reaction to skincare products. Dermadew lotion contains ingredients like Aloe Vera, Olive Oil, and Almond Oil which help in soothing and moisturizing the skin. You can apply a thin layer of dermadew lotion on the affected areas of your baby's face after gently cleansing the skin. If the rash persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

I've got this yellow spot on my inner thigh that's about the size of a thumbnail, and it's halfway up my leg. I dont recall getting hurt or anything like that, and I dont play any sports. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

The yellow spot on your inner thigh could be a fatty deposit, a sebaceous cyst, or a skin condition like eczema or dermatitis, but it's also possible it could be a symptom of a more serious condition, so it's best to consult a dermatologist for a proper examination and diagnosis to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
