A. While it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for proper guidance on eczema treatment in babies, some Indian home remedies may help alleviate symptoms. Always test a small area first and discontinue if any irritation occurs. Here are a few remedies: 1. **Coconut Oil:** - Apply virgin coconut oil on the affected areas. It has moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties. 2. **Turmeric Paste:** - Mix a pinch of turmeric powder with water or milk to form a paste. Apply this paste on eczema patches. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties. 3. **Neem Oil:** - Dilute neem oil with a carrier oil and apply to affected areas. Neem has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. 4. **Oatmeal Bath:** - Add finely powdered oatmeal to your baby's bathwater. Oatmeal can soothe irritated skin. 5. **Aloe Vera Gel:** - Use fresh aloe vera gel on eczema-prone areas. Aloe vera has cooling and moisturizing effects. 6. **Tulsi (Holy Basil) Leaves:** - Crush tulsi leaves and apply the juice on affected skin. Tulsi has antimicrobial properties. 7. **Ghee (Clarified Butter):** - Applying a small amount of lukewarm ghee on affected areas can provide moisturization. 8. **Avoid Irritants:** - Identify and avoid potential irritants, such as harsh soaps or synthetic fabrics. Always consult with a healthcare professional before trying home remedies, especially for babies, as their skin is sensitive. If eczema persists or worsens, seek prompt medical advice.
