Suggest Treatment For Rashes All Over Body Due To Oil Massage
Question: Hello Doc,
I have daughter of one Month old, She got the skin rash on the entire body... We checked with the Pediatric and he told me that this is due to the Oil Massage and advised us to change the Oil... Afterwords we have tried Olemessa, Olive Oil (3 Brands), Jonson's Baby Oil and Mustered Oil... But to my XXXXXXX nothing is suiting her... Then the Pediatric has advised us to stop the massage and it works and there is a improvement in her rashes...
Now my question is if we stop the massage completely (which is very important for neonatal) that how come my baby get the strength. Doesn't it effects her inner strength in future... I am not able to understand any thing... Please help
Regards

Dear Mr XXXXXX
The traditional XXXXXXX oil massage is helpful for infants because of following
1. It improves muscle tone
2. It gives flexibility to joints
3. It improves the complexion and texture of skin
The problem of rash is not due to type of oil used. It is due to residual oil still present over the body. I have followed this over my daughter and advised other mothers/fathers , it is very helpful and does not cause rash
1. Massage the baby with equal mixture of Coconut Oil, Almond oil and Olive Oil.
2. Let the Oil stay for few minutes
3. Give bath to baby with Hot water(Not too hot): Use Himalaya Body wash over the entire body , Use Himalaya Baby shampoo over scalp.
First apply Body bath over front of body, starting from neck to toes. Rub it thoroughly to remove all the oil residue . Wash it with hot water. Apply once more the baby bath and wash it off.
Repeat the same procedure on back.
Apply Shampoo over scalp and wash it off. Two application will be required initially.
Removing all the oil residue from body is important to prevent rash.
Do let me know whether it helped. Every baby is unique, this advisee has helped in more than 90%of babies I have advised.
Keep me updated.
Write to me anytime you need any further assistance.
Wishing you and you family a very happy and healthy life
Take Care
