Hello,
It seems like you are experiencing an allergic reaction or irritation from the product. Given that you are a lactating mother, itâs essential to take a safe and gentle approach:
Next Steps
For personalized advice and safer treatment options, I recommend an online consultation to evaluate the severity of the reaction and provide appropriate care. I am happy to assist you further. Take care, Dr. Sabarirajan
Health Tips
Stop using the product immediately. Avoid applying any new creams or oils without a doctorâs advice. Use a cold compress: Applying ice cubes wrapped in a clean cloth can help reduce swelling, redness, and itching. Avoid rubbing directly. Keep your skin hydrated: Coconut oil is fine for dryness but use it sparingly to avoid blocking pores. Avoid scratching or rubbing the affected areas, as it may worsen the irritation.

Hi , you should stop application of that kumkumadi tailam. If it is severe and spreading and affecting your eyes then oral medications may be needed , which are safe in lactation. So more photos and evaluation would be required. Is your tongue and lips swollen ? Do you have any difficulty breathing ?
Next Steps
Consult a dermatologist
Health Tips
Continue coconut oil application

It's allergic reaction to kumkumadi tailam. Please refrain from applying the tailam again and contact a Dermatologist for it's treatment. If you experience any breathing difficulty, it needs emergency treatment.
