Patient: My 4 month old baby girl was dark when she was born. Now her face complexion is little better. But the rest of her body is very dark. Can anyone give some suggestions on to improve baby s complexion? My mom says i can use moong dhal and pure turmeric powder mix for the fair complexion. Anyone tried this? Doctor: Hi Dear,Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have dark complexion and you want to get it improved. Well if it is genetic chances of getting fair complexion are less. I would suggest you to :- - Apply baby cream or gel containing azelaic acid twice a day ,which is a natural product obtained from cereals ans it safe alternative.- Apply sunscreen while going outside to protect your skin from sun exposure which can cause further damage .- Exfoliate your skin once a week.If condition persist after one month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may recommend antibiotic cream or antioxidants friendly to baby's skin. Hope your concern has been resolved.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari
