Abstract:
A 6-month-old baby had erythema, fissuring of the skin, and craquelé due to prolonged use of a liquid soap mistakenly believed to be a moisturizer. We think these kinds of skin disorders will become increasingly common due to such misunderstandings. The proliferation of cosmetic products for baby skin care, the increasing prescription of cosmetics by dermatologists for skin disease, and the increase in kinds of cosmetics with similar or unusual contents all encourage such accidents.
