When he was 1 month old, he developed reaction due to oil and lotion..Later I used ghee for massage then all redness went. Right now he is 4 and half month old, since one month he had developed red dry patch on face skin, sometimes itching also seen.. I am afraid that it might not lead to any skin desease. FYI he has hemangioma on his scalp.
