POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month3 months agoA. Red blisters with itching on a 1.5-year-old baby’s face could be due to several reasons like an allergic reaction, insect bites, heat rash, eczema, or a mild skin infection. Here's what you can do:
1. Immediate Care: Keep the area clean: Gently wash the face with lukewarm water and pat dry. Avoid scratching: Trim the baby’s nails and use soft cotton mittens if needed. 2. Safe Creams to Apply: Calamine lotion: Soothes itching and irritation. Cetaphil DAM or Sebamed Baby Cream: Gentle moisturizers that help with dryness or mild rashes. Himalaya Baby Cream or Mother Sparsh Plant-Powered Anti-Rash Cream: Safe herbal options for sensitive baby skin. If oozing or signs of infection (pus, spreading): Consult a pediatrician for a medicated cream like mupirocin or fucidin. 3. When to See a Doctor: If the rash spreads quickly, blisters burst, baby develops fever, or if there’s swelling. If the condition doesn’t improve in 1-2 days with basic care.
