"Doctor, my baby has skin rashes. What could it be?" - a question that pediatricians have been hearing more and more often lately.The newborn's skin is prone to various kinds of irritations and rashes. After all, it is several times thinner, more delicate, more vulnerable and drier than the skin of an adult. A rash is a common occurrence on its surface. And there are many reasons for this: internal problems (allergies), external (improper care, detergents and cosmetics), congenital or physiologically justified reasons (hormones of the mother). Let's take a closer look at the different types of rashes.Congenital pimples In many babies, white pimples are visible on the skin in the first weeks of life. They are called milii. Often these are just white dots in place of blocked sebaceous ducts. As a rule, they are located on the nose and forehead. It is better not to open them, not to squeeze them out, because soon they will pass by themselves. It is believed that milia is a consequence of the effects of mother's hormones, which provoked the hyperproduction of sebum.There is another type of congenital rash that has a hormonal nature - neonatal rash or acne of a newborn. Sometimes it is not even visible, but it is detected if you run your fingers over the baby's skin - bumps and roughness will tell you that there are rashes. They can become inflamed and red. But, as a rule, such rashes do not require special treatment. Only proper care is needed: daily bathing, clean clothes, natural detergents and care products.Sweating is a very common type of rash. Sweating occurs in children who are wrapped up a lot, provoking perspiration and interfering with the evaporation of moisture from the surface of the skin. The situation is aggravated by insufficient hygiene. After all, if the baby sweats a lot, you need to bathe him more often. Sweat is a pretty aggressive environment. Do not wrap up the crumbs: overheating is harmful to the skin and the whole body.Bathe your baby several times a day in plain water or add herbal decoctions (chamomile, calendula, turnip). Change the baby into clean clothes more often. And no tight swaddling!Allergy as a cause of skin rash, which is accompanied by itching and redness, is a common manifestation of allergic (atopic) dermatitis.Due to the immature immune system, some substances that enter the child's body can cause allergies. As a result, an unpleasant rash appears on the baby's skin.The most common causes of dermatitis in children are skin contact with substances that have allergenic properties or food allergies.From external factors, allergies can be caused by different types of washing powders, cosmetics for newborn care, house dust and low-quality clothes.For children in the first year of life, the main allergen is cow's milk protein. It causes allergies in 90% of babies with atopic dermatitis.Breastfed infants are allergic to cow's milk protein due to their mother's consumption of large amounts of dairy products during pregnancy and lactation.The appearance of milk allergy is also facilitated by the early (up to 12 months) introduction of unadapted dairy products (whole cow's milk, "adult" fermented dairy products).Fish is a common cause of allergy exacerbations, so it is not recommended for children with allergic dermatitis.Allergic reactions Allergy on the skin is manifested by swelling, severe itching and the appearance of blisters, which then turn into crusts. Constant itching causes a lot of discomfort to the child, often deprives the baby and, of course, his parents of sleep.How can I help my child?You should show the baby to a doctor. Now he will be registered with an allergist-immunologist. In addition, make sure that the child's clothes are made of natural fabrics, light colors, without dyes. Wash it thoroughly with natural baby powder and don't forget about a few extra rinses.Remember that a baby with atopic dermatitis should be washed with a bath product no more than once a week. Otherwise, the protective layer of the skin is washed off and it is even more irritated.If a child has a food allergy, it is necessary to exclude the product that causes it. It is better for a nursing mother to give up fish, sausages, sweets and dairy products.For children in the first year of life, the optimal treatment is breast milk, and in its absence, special hypoallergenic mixtures. If the baby has the initial symptoms of allergies, choose a hypoallergenic mixture for him, which can gradually prepare the body for the further transition to a regular dairy diet. It contains split milk protein, which does not cause allergies and "trains" the immune system. In this case, you do not have to worry that the grown-up baby will not try cottage cheese or milk - he will definitely do it, but a little later!It is important to adhere to the rules for the introduction of complementary foods and choose really high-quality and safe products.Let our tips help your child overcome allergies faster.
