Q.

My baby is 1 year old. His buttocks and legs are very dark in colour as compared to his hands, face and stomach. Is this an indication of any health issues? We are using coconut oil for daily massage. When he was born he had even skin tone but after 6 months we started noticing this change.

A. the complexion and the skin tone depends upon the family parents and the Genetics. so if your baby is healthy otherwise, no concern, achieving the milestones on time , then there is absolutely no need to worry about . yes you can continue using coconut oil or almond oil for the massage purpose
