Baby's cheeks are red

Basically every parent hopes that their baby is white and plump, so that the baby will look very healthy and cute. Parents also like to tease their children's cheeks, but some parents find that their babies' cheeks turn red and they have a series of abnormal reactions when they tease their children's cheeks. So could the redness on the baby's cheeks be caused by some skin disease?

Why are my child's cheeks red?

Many babies have normal complexion in other seasons, but start to blush in winter, which is often caused by low temperature stimulation. Especially in extremely cold environments, changes in temperature may cause abnormal blood vessels in children, leading to blushing. The clinical manifestations are filamentous, dot-like, star-shaped or flake-like redness on the face. This is also why children in some colder areas have red faces in winter. Large temperature differences are also an important reason for children's blushing. For example, when going from a cold room to an air-conditioned room, and experiencing sudden changes in temperature, the capillaries will lose their elasticity due to repeated contraction and expansion, causing redness and stinging on the child's cheeks and nose.

How to care for red cheeks in children

The environment and temperature are prone to drastic changes in winter, so you should pay attention to keeping warm. Pay attention to moisturizing the skin indoors, especially in high-temperature and dry environments. If your child's face is dry, replenish water in time and use warm water for washing the face. When outdoors, you can wear a scarf or a mask to prevent direct invasion of cold air. At the same time, it can also avoid excessive humidity and temperature differences, which will cause the micro-capillaries to contract rapidly when exposed to cold, thus forming red blood vessels. If pathological skin diseases are ruled out and the only problem is dry skin, you can use some moisturizing skin care products specifically for children.

The above are all the knowledge points and solutions for the problem of red baby cheeks. I hope it can be of some help to all parents. In addition to the above matters that need attention, parents actually need to supplement their babies with more vitamin foods in winter and prevent their children from becoming picky eaters. If some babies have too dry skin, parents can choose some baby skin care products.
