I recently picked up Prax 1% Lotion 118ml for some pretty severe sunburn. I've used it a couple of times now, and it seems to be helping with the pain and itching. Has anyone else tried this for sunburn? How well did it work for you? I'm also curious about any potential side effects. The bottle lists some serious ones, but I haven't experienced any so far. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something important.

Also, does anyone know if this can be used on kids? I'm cautious about applying anything too strong to my kids' sensitive skin. Any advice would be appreciated! Also, interested in any specific tips on how to apply it most effectively. Does it work better with a cool compress?

Be careful with this stuff around kids. My kiddo had a bad reaction to it once—small kid's skin is delicate. If you do use it, keep it away from their eyes, mouth and private areas.

Wait, can this be used rectally? The description mentions it but it’s weird to think about. What’s the story with that?

I’ve never had any issues with it. Always follow the instructions on the bottle. Don’t overdo it—too much can irritate the skin further.

I've never had any issues with it, the skin numbs right away and the itching fades. Just watched out for putting on sensitive areas.

This stuff is the best for bug bites—takes the itch away instantly. I always keep some in my first aid kit.
