Hi,
I can understand your concern for your baby's color and complexion turning darker after 15 days of birth.
Let me reassure that it is quite normal and natural to have color change in new born babies. It is quite usual to find this kind of change for next one year of period.
Do not try to apply any kind of home remedies. You can check with your pediatrician whether or not your baby has bluish discoloration known as cyanosis. If cyanosis is not present then it is quite normal.
Take care.
