    . It works well on my chapped hands, etc. It doesn’t have the cod liver oil scent like the Desitin white cream has, like what parents use on babies sore bottoms.

    I used desitin when my son was a baby and now I use it on my granddaughters. It has worked for me everytime I had to use it. The diaper rash goes away quickly and usually does not come back. I have had no issues using this on either one of them and recommend it to all parents and grandparents.
