there's some kind of small red patches on both my baby's hand. she is six months old now. I applied candid powder.

A. Hey there! Doctors of an advice against using any loose powder is on infants because of the risk of the baby in healing the fine particles which can lead to breathing difficulties. And please do not self medicate your child. It is important to consult your paediatrician for an accurate diagnosis as red patches cannot be taken lightly.
