A. Without actually examining we cannot comment anything but as they are coming only after the massage it is advisable that stop using that particular oil and consult a dermatologist as early as possibleWrite Your Answer Here

A. Hello mom No this is not because of any deficiency and this is totally normal. Some black badges are totally normal and it get cured by its own while baby grows up so you should not worry about it at all. If your baby is active and taking proper feed then everything is fine and nothing to worry. Happy parenting Stay home stay safe
