“When our daughter was about two months of the buttons and black spots ignited suddenly manifested on the face of our baby. We first thought about baby acne, but the doctor diagnosed dermatitis in infants and prescribed different creams to apply on the skin of our baby. Unfortunately, no improvement was made after only about two weeks. We then tried the creamed fangocur (mineral mask medical baby). First of all diluted in of water because we were not sure of the reaction qu’allait have sensitive skin of babies. However, we found that immediate treatment with the cream-based curative mud of Fango fangocur was good for the skin the baby and we continued treatment morning and night. After 1 to 2 days of treatment already the skin had markedly improved, and about a week after all the buttons and black spots had vanished. We then successfully treated buttons that appear from time to time. Today, more than a year later, we use fangocur willing to treat other skin irritations baby, eg. against the folds of the layers. “
