Patch-testing a new cream
A small spot, a day, and your eyes.
Before you use a new cream or lotion all over, put a small amount on a patch of skin, such as the inside of the forearm, and wait a day. If the skin stays calm you can start using it. If it turns red, itchy or rough, stop and ask your doctor. Babies with eczema or known allergies should be checked with a doctor first.
