Frequently Asked Questions about Bepanthen Balm

1. Is it safe for babies to ingest Bepanthen Balm if used on cracked nipples?

Bepanthen Balm is considered safe for both mother and baby, even if the baby accidentally ingests a small amount of cream remaining on the mother’s nipple. This is because Bepanthen Balm does not contain fragrances, preservatives, parabens, or antibiotics, which are ingredients that can be harmful to babies. In addition, the product has been dermatologically tested and is recommended by medical professionals for infants and young children. However, to ensure absolute safety, mothers should clean their nipples with warm water before breastfeeding to remove excess cream.

2. Can Bepanthen Balm treat baby eczema?

Bepanthen Balm can help soothe the symptoms of eczema such as dry skin, itching, and cracking thanks to its moisturizing and healing ingredients. However, Bepanthen Balm is not a medicine and does not completely cure baby eczema. If your baby has eczema, you should take them to the doctor for a proper diagnosis of the cause and appropriate treatment.

3. Does Bepanthen Balm have any side effects?

Bepanthen Balm ointment contains benign ingredients that are safe for users. However, for sensitive skin prone to irritation, itching, redness, rash, or blisters may occur in the area where the medicine is applied. If this happens, stop using immediately and contact the nearest medical facility.

4. Can Bepanthen Balm treat heat rash?

Bepanthen Balm skin cream is researched and manufactured in a closed process with modern technology, so it is of high quality. Treating heat rash is also one of the uses of Bepanthen Balm, especially effective for babies in the newborn stage. In addition to using medication for treatment, mothers should also pay attention to supplementing with fruit juice. Natural vitamin C from fruit can help regulate body temperature and cool the body from the inside, reducing redness and heat rash on baby’s skin.

5. Can Bepanthen Balm be applied to open wounds?

The answer is no. Because the composition of the medicine is in the form of an ointment gel that helps treat diaper rash, and the information on the packaging also does not mention that it can be used on open wounds. Therefore, to be safe, mothers should only use the medicine on red diaper rash areas, avoiding open wounds such as abrasions and cuts on the baby.

6. How long does it take for Bepanthen Balm to be effective?

To feel the effect on red diaper rash areas, continuous use of the medicine for 3-4 days is needed. However, immediately after applying the medicine, the mother or baby will feel the skin become softer, less irritated, and thereby accelerate the skin recovery process.

Bepanthen Balm is a product that offers many great benefits for both mother and baby such as healing diaper rash, moisturizing, and caring for the mother’s nipples.
