Learn to recognise and manage the most common skin conditions that affect babies and toddlers.
Babies and toddlers are prone to rashes, but fret not because most skin conditions cause no harm and heal on their own. If you are feeling anxious, familiarise yourself with these skin conditions that are common in infants and tots, and learn how to handle them.
DIAPER RASH
When diaper rash occurs, the skin becomes very red, itchy, and inflamed. Diapers that are worn too tight or left on for too long can cause skin irritation, which may lead to diaper rash. In fact, when a baby’s skin is extra sensitive, even using a particular brand of diapers, baby wipes, or detergent can cause diaper rash.
WHAT TO DO: Change your child’s diaper as soon as it is wet. Use a warm cloth to wash and clean the diaper area. Let the diaper area air naturally for as long as possible before applying a small amount of zinc oxide cream to treat the rash.
PIMPLES AND WHITEHEADS
Because of exposure to their mother’s hormones, babies can actually develop acne on the face. When this happens, oil is produced in the baby’s facial glands, which can clog the pores.
