How to care for baby rash

Babies are prone to rashes in the summer. Parents also dress them in thick clothes for fear that they will catch a cold, which causes the baby's body heat to dissipate easily. Babies also don't take baths often, which leads to the growth of bacteria and makes them more susceptible to rashes. This is very uncomfortable and the rash is red, which makes parents particularly worried. How should we care for babies with rashes?

1. Keep your skin clean and dry

When bathing your baby, it is advisable to use warm water and non-alkaline bath products to clean the baby's body. For babies with intertrigo, special attention should be paid to cleaning the folds of the skin. When taking a bath, the shower gel must be rinsed off. After washing, wipe the moisture off the baby's body and apply a non-oily moisturizer to avoid hindering the normal breathing of the skin. The baby's hair should also be washed every day. If the baby has seborrheic dermatitis, washing the head carefully can remove the scabs. If the scab has hardened and stuck to the head, apply olive oil on the affected area and then wash it after a while.

2. Avoid external stimulation

Parents should always pay attention to changes in temperature and humidity around their baby. Babies with contact dermatitis should especially avoid exposing their skin to cold wind or strong sunlight. In summer, after your baby sweats during exercise, you should wipe off his sweat carefully; when the weather is cold and dry, you should apply anti-allergic non-oily moisturizer to your baby. In addition to paying attention to weather changes, parents should not let their babies wear clothes that are easy to irritate the skin, such as wool, silk, nylon, etc.

3. Shorten your nails

If your baby suffers from severely itchy atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis, parents should regularly trim their baby's nails to reduce the chance of scratching.

After the baby develops a rash, parents should clean the baby to prevent the growth of bacteria, and apply some prickly heat powder to the baby. This will make the baby's body smooth and cool, and will not make the baby's body very hot and wet, which may easily cause other skin diseases. Parents should observe the baby carefully and not let the child wear too many clothes.
