You can usually use Apollo Pharmacy SPF 40 sunscreen cream for a 7-year-old child if it is labelled as suitable for children or sensitive skin. Apply a small patch test first to check for any irritation before regular use. Apply it generously to exposed skin and reapply every 2 to 3 hours, especially after sweating or swimming. If your child has sensitive skin or allergies, it is advisable to consult a doctor before regular use.
I have noticed darkening of skin on my forehead and above my eyes, and I think it might be due to sun exposure. How can I treat this?
Vikas Singh

Darkening in these areas is often due to sun exposure, leading to increased skin pigmentation. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and reapply when outdoors to prevent further darkening. Keep your skin moisturised and avoid harsh products that can irritate the area. You may use mild brightening creams if advised, but results take time. If the pigmentation persists or worsens, consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

AI powered Health Chatbot
SPF 40 sunscreen blocks about 97.5% of ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, which are the main cause of sunburn and skin damage, when applied correctly and generously. It provides much stronger protection than lower SPF products, making it ideal for people who spend a lot of time outdoors or have sensitive skin. For best results, reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating, and combine it with other sun-protection measures, such as wearing a hat or staying in the shade. Using SPF 40 sunscreen properly can help reduce the risk of sunburn, premature skin aging, and skin cancer. Please consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.
