Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Dermadew cream is a moisturizer which can be safely used on your baby. You can use it a number of times a day, whenever you feel that the skin is getting dry.
It is always best to moisturise the skin when it is damp. Use it within 3 minutes after bath.
It is also important to determine the cause of the skin rashes. If it is only due to dry skin, then the moisturiser would be enough to treat the problem. However, rashes in a 3 month old baby could also be due to atopic dermatitis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, eczema,etc. If moisturiser is not helping you, please review with your dermatologist to diagnose the condition.
Hope this helps you.
Take care
