What should I pay attention to when my one-year-old baby has a rash?

I believe many mothers have had this experience. When the baby is about one year old, it is easy to develop some small rashes on the body. In fact, this phenomenon is prickly heat in many cases. This may be because the weather is hot and humid, and the temperature is high. Since the baby's sweat glands are not fully developed, sweat can easily cause blockage of the sweat ducts when sweating, causing some rashes to appear on the baby's delicate skin. It is common for one-year-old babies to have rashes. Don’t worry too much. They can recover completely with active treatment.

Do not scratch your one-year-old baby's rash with your hands or wash it with strong alkaline soap. Do not use hot water, but rinse with warm water, wipe dry, and sprinkle with prickly heat powder. Patients who develop infection after scratching should apply antibiotic ointment. Keep the room ventilated and cool, and take a bath frequently. Keep skin clean and dry. Children should take a bath frequently.

If a one-year-old baby has a rash, parents should pay attention to wipe off sweat and change clothes in time; for patients with fever or bedridden, parents should turn them over frequently and wash their skin frequently. You can eat refreshing and heat-relief medicinal foods, such as mung bean soup, mung bean porridge, refreshing sugar soup, etc. Avoid scratching and do not scrub with soap.

After a one-year-old baby has a rash, you can choose some Chinese herbal medicines that have the effects of removing dampness and clearing away heat and relieving summer heat for the child to take. If the condition is more serious, you can also use anti-inflammatory drugs or antipruritic agents. After a one-year-old baby develops a rash, some mothers may not pay attention to the cleanliness of the baby's skin, which may cause infection. At this time, antibiotics should be actively used to stop the spread of the infection. Of course, rashes in one-year-old babies can be completely prevented. For example, do not let the baby lie in bed for a long time and need to exercise appropriately. If the baby lies in bed for a long time, the sweat glands on the pressed side will be compressed, and the sweat ducts will easily be blocked over time, causing rashes.
