Sunscreen is a must-have product for almost every Australian family due to the heat of the summer and Australia's UV index, which makes sunscreen a must-have product for almost every Australian family.
The whole family, not only adults need sunscreen, delicate skin baby in the sun is also more vulnerable.
But who knows, originally used to protect the baby's skin from damage sunscreen products, but the baby's skin will cause tremendous damage.
Recently, Chloe, a less than two-year-old baby from Sydney, developed an extremely severe allergic reaction after he touched a sunscreen from Cancer Council.
Chloe's mother, Sarah Wallace, said she left the house a few days ago after applying Cancer Council's Pepa Pig series of children's 50 sunscreen to Chloe's face.
A few days ago, the sun was shining in Sydney.
Sarah thought it would be safe to wear sunscreen on the baby's skin.
But after returning home, Chloe's face began to turn red, and by night there was a layer of blisters.
Until then, Chloe's face had turned out to be like this.
"her face looks like a baked bacon, I can only describe it that way."
Mother Sarah looked at the child's face and was in great pain.
But how can a baby's face that has been sunscreen and has not been exposed to intense sunlight become this way?
Mom says it's an allergic reaction to sunscreen.
Because although the baby has sunscreen, but has not received the sun direct irradiation.

However, according to Australian media reports, such anaphylaxis is not the only baby Chole.
A 3-month-old baby had an allergic reaction all over the body after using Pepa Pig sunscreen.
His mother wrote on Facebook:
The baby was not directly exposed to the sun. It was just a little sunscreen, just in case her mother took it outdoors.
But did not expect the baby to appear such a serious abnormal reaction.
The baby then spent three nights in the hospital, but the red rash was still not resolved.
She made it clear that it was not sunburn, and that as a responsible mother, she could not let her baby receive direct sunlight.
These rubella is an allergic reaction that occurs when sunscreen is applied.
And, Cancer Council's response to the incident is as follows.
In addition to expressing concern about the baby's symptoms, Cancer Council says:
All products are manufactured in strict accordance with TGA standards, and each bottle of sunscreen has passed the SPF test.
All sunscreen products are suitable for sensitive skin and have been tested.
If the skin itself is sensitive, it should be tried before it is more secure.

Seeing what happened to the mother, more netizens also posted a similar experience of their own baby on po:
A family of four from Brisbane all developed sunburn-like rubella after using the sunscreen.
Kadence, an eight-month-old baby, is among them.
About an hour after sunscreen, she said, she began to feel obvious sunburn.
"it hurts so much that I can't think of how I can bear it if it's a baby."
Although Kadence had no direct contact with the sun, her face began to blisters.
Sunscreen on the body has also appeared redness and swelling.
Mom Delaware said:
"I don't think these products should go on sale anymore. I don't want more families going through the same things we've been through. It feels really bad. "
Sydney's mother, Jessica Cook, then said her little daughter had the same sunburn-like, red and itchy symptoms after using the same sunscreen.
Because of the abnormal itching, the child constantly scratched the skin, so that the blisters burst.
The mother said she didn't have to do the skin test in advance, because she believed that the Australian leadership brand was trustworthy.
"I think it's justifiable if it's just a few cases, but now there are a lot of people who do."
"the manufacturer should recall these 'toxic' products from the shelf."
What she thought was even more surprising was that the sunscreen bottle had no hint of a skin test.
In addition, similar reviews of the product have emerged online
The baby's skin is particularly delicate, and sunscreen should be particularly mild and non-irritating if it is produced and used for the baby.
If a "sensitive skin" person needs to be tested on the skin before using a sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin, should this tip be written more clearly and prominently on the bottle?
But on the bottle of sunscreen, the scarlet letter is-
"specially designed for delicate skin.
Suitable for children of all ages. "
Step back, even if the baby's skin is too delicate and susceptible to allergies. Then the skin is not so delicate for adults to use this sunscreen will not be a problem.
But the result is this:
Adelaide a woman uses Cancer Council, sunscreen into sunscreen.
The former Miss World Kim Cancellier uses the brand sunscreen and begins to swell and molt.
The most recent response from, Cancer Council is:
They have re-tested their products and did not find any problems.
There is no difference between the ingredients in the sunscreen and those of other brands on the market, and the probability of a similar situation is only 1? 125.
Therefore, the company will not choose to recall this Pepa Pig child sunscreen.
Editor's conclusion
Baby pain in the body, mother pain in the heart.
I believe that no mother will inadvertently let her baby be exposed to the sun, sunscreen is just in case.
Although the cause of this strange allergic reaction is not yet clear, it is also a wake-up call for your aunts:
Care should be taken to apply and use any product on children, especially infants, and the necessary skin tests must not be lost.
And for these faulty sunscreen, I think no matter how manufacturers explain, most parents may choose to stay away.
