Question
Can a two-month-old baby use tannic acid ointment?
Answer
Tannic acid ointment is a disinfectant and preservative that helps to contract and protect the skin. It can be used to treat mild, small-area acute eczema, dermatitis, and other skin issues. However, since a baby’s skin is more sensitive, it is important to consult a doctor before use and follow their guidance. Additionally, the baby should avoid exposure to sunlight, as it may irritate the baby’s skin. If the baby needs to supplement calcium, consider increasing calcium intake through food or supplements.
