Holi Aftercare for Kids: Protect Skin, Eyes, Lungs; What Parents Must Know
- •Holi colors can cause rashes, redness, and respiratory issues in children due to sensitive skin and chemical dyes.
- •Dr. Bobby Sadawarti, AIMS Hospital, Dombivli, warns synthetic dyes damage skin barrier, leading to contact dermatitis, itching, or hives.
- •Post-Holi, children may experience red bumps, dryness, eye irritation, or breathing issues like coughing/wheezing.
- •Mandatory care includes gentle cleansing with lukewarm water, generous moisturizing, and soothing irritated eyes with cool water.
- •Parents must watch breathing closely, clean outer ears carefully, and oil the scalp to remove colors and prevent dryness.
