1.Apply Jatyadi Taila How to Use: Take 2–3 drops on cotton and dab gently on affected skin.Let it absorb for 10 mins before putting on diaper. 2.Sandalwood Paste with Rose Water Why: Cooling and healing if skin is inflamed but not broken How to Use: Mix pure sandalwood powder + rose water into a paste Apply for 10–15 mins, wipe gently Coconut Oil + Turmeric Paste Take1 tablespoon cold-pressed coconut oil 1 pinch of pure turmeric powder (not cooking turmeric) Mix and apply a thin layer on the rash area after cleaning and drying.Leave it open for 10–15 mins if possible, then cover with a soft cotton diaper

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
