hello, lybrate user, it normally happens with a newly born baby even without any massage due to change of climate out of the womb. however, mustered oil might be adulterated to cause rashes to baby, stop using the same for the time being. self defence mechanism of the baby will make the skin smooth in a wk time. you may use olive oil for the purpose of massage, please. tk care.

Mustard oil is very strong for baby skin, so it can causes rash and skin burn so don't use it. If baby is cranky because of itching or burning use caladril lotion local application. You can use coconut oil, olive oil etc for massage.
