A. Dr Rashmi thanks for the response ma'am Well I have been following the same regimen for him i.e coconut oil massage followed by warm water bath and application of Himalaya baby lotion My baby actually sweats a lot and the neck region remains damp as it's least exposed to ventilation Thereby he has got patch similar to ringworm infection Please suggest a remedy for same!

A. hi rash can be due to many causes. use products with skin friendly pH. Routine skin care is important. Apply coconut oil before bath followed by gentle cleansing with warm water followed by lotion. Sebamed or aveeno products are equally good
