Dark circles are a result of thinning skin under your eyes. This condition is usually hereditary, but can be aggravated by lack of sleep, allergies, pollution and even constant use of contact lenses. Because there is no bone directly supporting this skin and it’s so delicate, it often darkens as you age even without the above problems. This area is also often overworked especially as we tend to rub tired or irritated eyes.
Lightening agents contacting natural ingredients like vitamin C, berberry acid and arbutin may be sparingly used on these areas at bedtime. Maintain a regular lifestyle with frequent meals, regular exercise and an adequate water intake. Taking supplements containing iron, vitamin C and anti-oxidants definitely add a benefit to your problem.

No. They’re actually called keratosis pilaris – the cause is unknown, but some claim that it’s a hereditary condition.
You can soften and help slough off bumps by applying cream containing high urea and salicylic acid. If that doesn’t work, prescription retinoids will help, but it can irritate the surrounding skin. If very irritation or itchy can add mild steroids to the cream to soothe irritation. Apply onto bumps twice a day until they clear up.

You are right ,its a Diaper allergy known as Diper dermatitis. Changing the diapers might help. But you should remember skin in the diaper area should be kept as dry and as free from irritants as possible. Frequent diaper changes and the use of diapers with adsorbent gel material are useful means to prevent the diaper dermatitis. An emollient or paste may be applied as a barrier from irritants with diaper change.
For more severe form of cases like you said it has developed to erosion or ulcer like. You might need some low dose corticosteroids like say 1% Hydrocortisone applied 2-3 times daily followed by some emollient. And when lesions subside corticosteroids must be stopped. I would suggest you visit a dermatologist for more suggestions on using emollients and corticosteroids. Don’t try to buy yourself and use. It may harm your child.

Always remember to apply a hand cream after you wash your hand, as some soap makes nails very dry which results peeling and become brittle. Yea Nail polish does protect the natural nail but remember to remove it as soon as it starts to chip. don’t peel off nail polish, as this might also result in removal of the top layer of your nail leading to further damage. Have your nails manicured on a regular basis, usually every three to four weeks to make sure that your hands and nails remain healthy.
