POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. For a 3-year-old with skin rashes, the treatment depends on the cause—commonly heat rash, allergy, insect bites, or dry skin. Here’s a general solution:
Apply calamine lotion for soothing relief. Use a mild moisturizer like Cetaphil or Sebamed if the skin is dry. If it's a heat rash, keep the area cool and dry, and bathe the child in lukewarm water. Avoid harsh soaps—use gentle, fragrance-free baby wash. For itching, a pediatrician may recommend an antihistamine or mild hydrocortisone cream (only if prescribed).
If the rash spreads, has blisters, or the child has a fever or discomfort, consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
