Advice on Baby Skin Rash

There may different causes of skin rashes in babies and adults. Baby's skin is quite delicate and soft and hence, more sensitive. The main reason of baby skin rash is use of nappies or diapers. There may be irritation of skin in the diaper-covered region. Cradle cap is another skin condition that is commonly found in babies. It is characterized by development of patches of yellow, greasy flakes and tiny pimple-like bumps on the scalp. In some cases, it may appear on ears, eyebrows and other areas. It generally appears during the early weeks of baby's life and cures within about 6 months. Application of liberal amount of baby oil to the affected area for about 20 minutes is the effective treatment for cradle cap. Apply baby shampoo during bath to prevent oily buildup. Heat rash is another type of skin rashes in babies. It can be categorized by small blisters filled with sweat. It is formed due to blocking of the pores preventing the sweat glands from releasing the sweat. It may also result from excess heat and humidity which is beyond the ability of the sweat glands to cool the body. Baby's body is more susceptible to this condition as their sweat glands are not completely developed. Such types of skin rashes are frequently found around the neck, armpits, face and sometimes on the back and chest. Some common skin rashes in babies are pink pimples, erythema toxicum, dry, peeling skin, little white bumps in face and nose, salmon patches and Mongolian spots. To prevent development of these skin rashes, you need to take extreme care of baby's skin. Add non-allergic oil to the bathwater to prevent the skin from becoming dry and itchy.
