It is a very common phenomenon for people to have pimples on their skin. People of all ages will experience this symptom. In comparison, because children's skin is still very delicate, pimples are more common. For example, children will develop pimples after being exposed to heat, which people call heat pimples. This skin problem is most likely to occur in summer and autumn. The solutions are as follows.

What should I do if my child has heat rash?

The external environment causes of baby's heat bumps is high temperature and humidity. Therefore, to solve the problem of baby's heat bumps, we should first start by changing the environment.

The exhaust gas from cars in the city and the heat from the outdoors emitted by air conditioners undoubtedly make the city's temperature higher. Therefore, if conditions permit, you can take your baby to a cooler place to escape the heat, such as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River or a nearby summer resort, and travel at the same time.

If the temperature is high and the humidity in the room is high, the baby's skin will become sticky and heat rash will be aggravated. You should open windows more often for ventilation and use air conditioning for dehumidification. These are all effective practices.

The reason why babies get heat bumps is that their sweat glands are underdeveloped and cannot discharge all the sweat in time. Therefore, you should wipe the baby's body more often to help the baby sweat and prevent the baby's sweat glands from being blocked again, causing more sweat to be accumulated. If necessary, you should consult a doctor and use medication for treatment.

Next, you need to prevent your baby from scratching and keep his nails short to prevent bacterial infection and worsening of the condition. An effective way is that when the baby wants to scratch because of itching, the adult can rub the baby with clean hands or apply some baby-specific cooling oil.

Dress your baby in loose, breathable clothes, and do not put diapers on your baby unless necessary.

Dry your baby's body after each bath, and then gently apply some prickly heat powder on him. Be careful not to apply too much, otherwise it will be counterproductive. In addition, if the skin is broken, do not apply powder or use cooling oil. Just pay attention to hygiene. If you do the above points, the normal pimples will naturally disappear slowly.

Considered to be childhood eczema, it is an allergic skin disease. The main reason is intolerance or allergy to ingested, inhaled or contacted substances. Mild cases are mainly treated with topical medications, while moderate cases can be treated with oral medications to prevent infection. Baby eczema cream, indigo powder, calamine lotion, etc. can be used. Keep your skin clean, avoid irritation, and pay attention to your diet.
