A. Eczema skin looks dry, itchy and irritated. You can see a red rash, baby itching, thick Leathery patches can be seen. Clean the saliva, use fragrance free soaps, keep bails trim, use Luke warm. Water for bath, moisturise after the bath, use cream instead of lotion as they are thick and more effective, use soft cotton clothes and fabric. Keep the baby in well ventilated room to avoid sweating.

A. Hi my baby got dry and dark skin after using nalangu mavu. Please don’t use it when she has eczema please continue using aveeno dry cream and body wash. If possible use aveeno eczema night balm. My baby was very fair and after using this nalangu mavu she turned completely dark with white patches so please avoid it and continue using aveeno. She is doing better now after one continuous month of using aveeno products and also apply cream twice a day.

A. Coconut oil is one of the best choices in hot summer and humid climates. Lighter in texture, it easily absorbs into the skin and offers a cooling effect on the body. Coconut oil is an effective treatment for sensitive skin and problems like eczema, rashes, patchy skin, dermatitis and cradle cap. Applying a small amount of coconut oil after bath will moisturize your baby’s skin and keeps it supple. Coconut oil contains anti-oxidants, lauric and caprylic acids, which are great for her skin. It also has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties which make it an ideal choice for baby’s skin

A. This is quite effective and chemical free bath powder for babies. Green gram dal one cup Chana Dal one cup Rose Petals two cups Almonds one cup. Dry all these for a day or two and blend to smooth powder. Store and use it everyday during bath.
