How Can A Skin Rash Despite Using Aquaphor Ointment Be Treated?
My friend has been dealing with a painful rash all over his body for almost a year using every day a product called Aquaphor - Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy . I just read the label - Active ingredient petrolatum 41% - along with many other ingredients too numerous to lists. Do you think his rash could be caused by petrolatum? TX Joyce

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I don’t think this rash is caused by petrolatum. It could be due to dermatitis but you need to upload the pictures of the affected areas under the premium section of the site so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
