Is It Safe To Apply Kajal In Babies?
Newborns have sensitive immune system. Thus, their developing organs are susceptible to infections.
“Red eyes” is a common eye infection in babies caused by viruses, bacteria, or a blocked tear duct. Red eyes in babies manifest as pus-filled or watery discharge from the corners of their eyes.
While this can be treated with prescribed medications, it is a popular belief that applying kajal to a baby’s eyes is essential in treating eye infections.
As common as it may seem, it is a dangerous practice. Oftentimes, it results in a serious eye infection, which escalates to organ damage due to the lead component in kajal.
This article outlines why kajal application, both medically and cosmetically for babies, is bad and recommends ways to alleviate the symptoms of eye infections.
