Can a ten-month-old baby use Tiger Balm?

Babies around ten months of age generally should not use medicated oil (e.g., Vicks-like products), as their skin is particularly delicate and may be irritated by it. The main ingredients of medicated oil include menthol, peppermint oil, camphor, eucalyptus oil, clove oil, cinnamon oil, and camphor oil. It has effects of cooling, refreshing the mind, relieving itching, and alleviating pain, and is commonly used for headaches due to colds, heatstroke, motion sickness, and insect bites. Although the product is effective, it is not suitable for very young babies because it may irritate the skin and cause allergic reactions. If a baby suffers from insect bites, parents should consult a doctor and consider using an infant-specific anti-itch cream.
