Diaper Rash

• 1). Clean your hands with a baby wipe or wash them with soap and water before changing your baby's diaper.
  
  
• 2). Remove the wet diaper from your baby. Avoid having your baby wear a soiled diaper for an extended period of time as this may result in diaper rash.
  
  
• 3). Cleanse your baby's buttocks and genitalia with baby wipes. Pad the diaper area dry with a towel. Avoid rubbing your baby's bottom as this may irritate the skin.
  
  
• 4). Cover your baby's diaper area in a generous amount of A & D ointment. Include his genitalia, buttocks and the skin folds in his thigh area.
  
  
• 5). Place a clean diaper on your baby and discard the soiled one. Use A & D ointment each time you change your baby's diaper, especially at night when exposure to soiled diapers may be prolonged.
  
  

Minor Burns

• 1). Fill a basin with cool water and soak your burn in it for five minutes to reduce any swelling. Use a mild soap to clean the area.
  
  
• 2). Apply a thin layer of A & D ointment to the wound area with a spatula.
  
  
• 3). Cover the burn with gauze and secure it by wearing gauze netting over it. Practice caution if you leave the wound uncovered as A & D ointment may stain your clothing.
  
  
• 4). Use A & D ointment each time you change the gauze until the wound has healed.
  
  

Tattoos

• 1). Wash your new tattoos with warm water and a mild antibacterial soap. Blot your tattoo dry with a towel. Avoid having any drops of blood on your tattoo as these may turn into scabs.
  
  
• 2). Spread a thin layer of A & D ointment over your tattoo. Use just enough ointment so that the area is shiny. Wipe off any excess ointment with a paper towel. Don't cover up your tattoo.
  
  
• 3). Apply A & D ointment to your tattoo whenever it feels stiff or at least twice a day for three days. Then switch to a fragrant-free moisturizer until the tattoo has healed.
