Suggest Treatment For Skin Darkening In An Infant

Hello Doctor, My daughter is 9 month old now. She born fair and stayed fair till 2nd month. I started giving her oil massage with jhonson baby oil from her 2nd month. I noticed that her body turned light brown. By her 5th month her face and ears remain fair, but her rest of the body turned dark. So I stopped massaging her with oil from her 6th month. Just applying jhonson baby cream not the lotion daily after bath. Its been 3 months now I didn t applied oil. I noticed her body started turning light slowly but it is taking too long to become light/fair. I m feeling very guilty that i didn t noticed early that because of oil she is turning dark. What can i do to get her body fair back. How long it will take to get her actual color back. Her face and ears remained fair only her body turned dark. Please help.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic.
I would like yo know what is the colour tone of both parents?
In case parents have a deeper tone the child too might have tone similar.
I would suggest to use Seba med extra soft baby cream for body which will hydrate skin for a long time. It could help keep skin soft.
Hope this helps
