Deet 30% for over 12, 10% or less for 6 months to 12. 6m to 12y - use icaridin or 10% deet (max once per day) 12y and up - use 30% deet (max tid) Its first line for children 6 years to 12 years old, i dont think we went into it in detail in panel but just basically knowing that is good enough maybe. Anaphylaxis can be seen with difficulty breathing, change in bp, hives, swelling of tongue or mouth. Steroids (except hydrocortisone can still cause it if ur using an ointment tho) (hormones - androgens) Use electric shaver, shave in the direction of hair growth.
