Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. the darkening and roughness of a child's neck, elbows, and knees can be attributed to several factors. here are some common reasons:
1. friction and pressure: these areas often experience more friction and pressure due to crawling, playing, and leaning. this can lead to thickening of the skin and increased pigmentation.
2. dry skin: children's skin tends to be sensitive and prone to dryness. dry skin can appear rough and may darken over time.
3. sun exposure
4. genetics: some children naturally have darker skin in certain areas due to their genetic makeup.
5. hygiene and moisturization: proper hygiene and regular moisturization are essential. dry skin can worsen roughness and darkening.
6. obesity: in some cases, excess weight can cause friction and darkening in skin folds.
to address this, consider the following steps:
gentle cleansing: use mild cleansers to keep the skin clean without stripping natural oils.
moisturize: apply a child-friendly moisturizer to keep the skin soft and hydrated.
sun protection: limit sun exposure and use sunscreen when necessary.y

AbhayaMom of a 15 yr 8 m old boy1 Year agoA. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please massage baby with BabyHug coconut oil. Also use Sebamed soap to bathe the baby. Use a good brand moisturiser like BabyHug moisturiser or MamaEarth moisturiser for the baby. Also use a good brand sunscreen lotion like MamaEarth for the baby.
Thanks and take care
