# One may put on or remove a back or neck brace on [[Shabbat]]. <ref>The Weekly Halachah Discussion (Rabbi Doniel Neustadt) | # If a baby has a rash it is permitted to dab on some baby rash cream and not rub it in. If the cream would become completely absorbed into the skin and no trace would be left on the surface of the skin it would be permitted even to rub it in.<ref>[http://www.dailyhalacha.com/Display.asp?ClipID3542 Rabbi Mansour] explained that according to Rav Ovadia it was permitted to use a medicine for a baby who is in pain because they are considered a choleh shein bo sakana (Rama 328). Dabbing on the cream without rubbing or smoothing it is permitted based on the Chazon Ish. Furthermore, it is permitted to rub in the cream completely and it isn't considered memare'ach (Yabia Omer 4:27 based on Magen Avraham).</ref> | ||
