Is the Mayi dusting powder safe for my 10-month-old baby? I'm wondering if it's okay to use the regular candid powder or if there's a specific version meant for infants. Can you provide me with more information about this?

-It's best to use a baby-specific Candid powder designed for infants, as it is gentler on their sensitive skin. Regular Candid powder may be too harsh for a 10-month-old and could cause irritation. Always consult your pediatrician before using any product

My relative had a hot oil spill accident and burned 25% of her legs. It's been 15 days since she's been in the hospital, and we're really worried about how long it'll take for her to recover. Can you give us some idea of the recovery time? We're feeling pretty panicked about this.

It takes really long time to heal and depends on the depth of the burns,no need to worry follow your doctor advice and give her high protein diet for a better result.

I'm really concerned because I've had very dry lips and the surrounding skin is red and flaky for about four months now. I've tried using ghee, milk cream, and different lip care products, but nothing seems to work. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

you may be experiencing severe dryness and inflammation of the lips. I recommend trying a medicated lip balm containing ingredients such as hydrocortisone and ceramides to help soothe the redness and dryness. You can also apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or a lip balm with SPF throughout the day to keep your lips hydrated. Additionally, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated from the inside out. If the symptoms persist, you may need to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
