I've been using Zinc Oxide 20% Ointment for my baby's diaper rash, and it's been a game-changer. No more red, irritated skin! But I've heard some horror stories about allergic reactions. Has anyone else had issues, or is it generally safe? The FDA's warning is scary, and I want to be prepared.

This is great for chafing too—especially for runners or hikers. I keep a small tube in my gym bag just in case.

I've been using it on my dog's hot spots with great results. He licks it off sometimes but its still effective.

Interesting. I've never heard of anyone having a reaction. My friend is a pharmacist and she said allergic reactions are rare, but possible. She suggested doing a small patch test first just to be safe.

This stuff is amazing! I've used it for years and never had any problems. Just make sure to clean the area thoroughly before application.
