Is i possible to be allergic to baby oil? i regularly use sesame oil after a bath to soften skin but i tried baby oil and my legs are itching and red.

Yes: There are stabilizers and several ingredients in baby oil so it is possible to be allergic to it.

Yes, its mineral oil: Mineral oil blocks your skin pores and doesn't really create any moisture, sesame oil is way better.
