Don't worry Deepika,
1.Wash the affected area with the Help of PANCHVALKAL KWATH.
2.Apply Shatdhaut ghrit over the affected part.
3.You can use coconut oil too..(For L/A)
If you are able to apply paste over that affected area then use Raktachandana powder+Neem powder..

HELLO DEEPIKA,
I'm really sorry to hear about your mother’s condition. When someone is bedridden, unconscious, and using diapers daily—especially with frequent bowel movements—the skin becomes very vulnerable. Continuous contact with stool, moisture, heat, and friction leads to diaper dermatitis, and when prolonged, it turns into skin erosion, ulcers, or even infection.
Let's help your mother by focusing on 3 things:
Protecting and healing the skin
Controlling the loose stools (if possible)
Maintaining daily hygiene and moisture balance
External Care (Highly Important & Urgent):
After Every Stool Episode:
Gently clean the area with lukewarm water + few drops of neem oil or Triphala decoction
Do NOT use soap every time; it worsens dryness
Pat dry fully — no moisture should be left
After drying:
Apply a thin layer of Yashtimadhu Ghrita (licorice ghee) or Jatyadi Ghrita
(If these are not available, use plain virgin coconut oil until you get them)
If skin is broken or oozing:
Mix Shuddha Gandhak + turmeric + rose water into paste and apply twice daily
Dust with Herbal Prickly Heat Powder containing Yashad bhasma (Zinc oxide) to prevent moisture trap
Diaper Tips:
Use cloth diapers at home or breathable adult diapers
Change diaper immediately after every motion
Keep baby powder with zinc or neem-tulsi base to prevent fungal growth
Internal Medicines (To Control Bowel Movements)
If possible to administer through feeding tube or oral spoon feed:
Kutajarishta – 10 ml + 10 ml warm water after every episode of loose motion
Nagaramla Churna – ½ tsp with warm water twice a day
Mustharishtam – 15 ml + 15 ml warm water at bedtime
Pathya (If on oral diet/feeds):
Use rice kanji, moong dal water, pomegranate juice, buttermilk (if not contraindicated)
Add a little ghee to soft rice/kanji feeds — supports gut & skin healing
Avoid milk, bananas, raw fruits, heavy food, and sugar
Tests Can Be Done
CBC
CRP (to check for any active infection)
Electrolytes (if loose motions are frequent)
Stool routine and culture
Blood sugar (if healing is delayed)
You’re doing your best in a very difficult situation. Even though she’s unconscious, proper skin care and gut support can make her much more comfortable and prevent complications.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me.
Take care,
Regards,
DR.Karthika
