Mum’s horror as baby suffers severe sunburn despite being covered in factor 50 | UK | News
A mother, baby daughter, on a cloudy day in Scotland, the factor, despite the cut in the 50 Sun Cream, after having severe burns told about the terrible ordeal. 22 -year -old Lauren Leishman, 12 -month -old daughter Rhegan on Saturday, June 28 on Saturday, a farm show in Haddington in East Lothian.
Despite the cool air that directed both Lauren and Rhegan’s father Kai to Don Jumbers, Lauren carefully applied sunscreen to a small “just to be safe”. After spending only three hours outdoors, they discovered that baby Rhegan turned “literally bright red”.
The next morning, Rhegan’s face and hands were swallowed with huge, liquid -filled bubbles and implemented Lauren’s worst fears. In panic, Rhegan was taken to the Royal Hospital for children and young people in Edinburgh, where a nurse informed them that his face would return to raw skin.
Midlothian, Lauren, who works as a carer at Dalkeith, said: “This is too much embarrassment. I just want to inform other people. I want to inform other people. How can Scotland burn badly with sunscreen? In pain.” He remembered that the family went to the local farm show under the cloudy sky that morning and that the temperatures were only at the top of 18C. “It was a cloudy day, we both had Jumper,” he said, Wales online.
“It was cold and actually to myself, ‘Can I deal with sunscreen?’ I remember what I thought, and I just thought that “I will wear it to be safe ‘and” Lauren is a reliable Malibu Kids Factor 50. He told the challenging ordeal: “We were out of one to half from him, we came home and sleeping in the car seat, and when he woke up and looked at him, it was literally bright -shining red.
“The highest temperature recorded on Saturday was 18 degrees. This would happen in the afternoon, so we’d be home until then.” Despite the first treatments with Aloe Vera and Affersun, Rhegan’s situation worsened rapidly overnight. Lauren, on the scary morning, then told: “He woke up in the morning and was very swollen. Big bubbles. So after taking him to the hospital.
“I just felt panic, and only guilt was terrible.” The severity of Rhegan’s burns surprised the doctors, allowing them to treat them with a special ointment and advised them to recommend a two -week solid closed recovery time. Lauren shared the sad details: “In pain and every time I need to put the cream on him, I have to fix it to wear it.
“It hurts for him. The open skin I have to touch the cream.” Although the product is labeled as a child -friendly factor as a 50 sunscreen, Lauren promised to use it again after the traumatic event. He expressed his disadvantage and guilt: “You feel very sad and very guilty, but you just look at a bottle and the factor for children 50, perfect, what can go wrong?”
“If there is only sunscreen, if they could play in the sun, but we weren’t even abroad, you’ve never thought that we were in front of our door in Scotland.
Lauren now encourages other parents to evaluate UVA Star ratings on the products before applying to children. He explained: “I would definitely investigate the sunscreen that you used in your child. In my Facebook article, I saw a few comments by saying that we used this sunscreen in Spain or in a different country and checked us in a different country. He checked the ratings. The ratings in the sunscreen go with the stars and I think that the five stars are the best and I think it is just three stars.
“So I knew I would never buy that cream. You just think you’re the kids in the bottle, the factor says 50, that’s gonna be great. But there is no high rating and I would never buy it.” Rhegan remains in discomfort and Lauren’s face “just seems to get worse”.
Lauren explained: “He still hurts and his face seems to be worse. The nurse said that almost all his face in the hospital will only return to raw skin. But still less. But a little less. Lauren expressed his concern of exposing his daughter to the sun once again:” I’m worried about taking him back to the sun. We will definitely not do this summer.
“It will have to stay for two weeks, but it will not be in the sun for the rest of the summer. It was only his birthday and a lot of garden toys, pee sand pits, but this will not be used this year.” Following Lauren’s complaint, Malibu Sun sent the complaint information package to him and awaits a response to conduct a comprehensive investigation.
