My daughter is 6 years old and has very sensitive skin. Last year we went to India she developed rashes due to direct contact with wool. The skin specialist advised to stop any sort of oiling on hair and body and suggested to use Turminice on the rashes and Aveeno dermexa for daily moisturising. He also advised a mild soap for daily use. Everything has been ok since three months and her skin also improved. However, recently she developed dry red patches mainly on her chest. She had sports day in school so I am unsure if it is due to exposure to sun, her skin also has become very tanned specially the arms. Due to this her skin looks very discolored with white patches at some places like elbow creases, neck crease. She also keeps complaining of severe itching especially when she perspires. I observed that when I apply any cream she complains of burning. So I have stopped applying cream which I feel is making her skin more dry. I read a blog which suggests it is most likely heat rash and extra virgin coconut oil really helps. I have been applying twice daily and her itching has reduced and the red patches on her chest seem to be slightly better. Please advise if I can continue to use this option or any other advice is greatly appreciated.

Yes you may continue using it for temporary relief.. but it does not cure the problem... It requires... proper homoeopathic treatment to cure it... otherwise one or the other problem of skin will keep on coming back... You can consult me through lybrate...
