POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. It sounds like your baby may be experiencing eczema or a skin allergy, which is common in infants. Redness, tiny bumps, dryness, and rough patches on the face and neck are typical signs. Here’s what you can do:
Moisturize frequently – Use a gentle, fragrance-free baby moisturizer (like Cetaphil, Aveeno Baby, or Sebamed) multiple times a day, especially after bathing.
Avoid harsh soaps – Use a mild, fragrance-free baby cleanser. Bathe your baby with lukewarm water and limit bath time to 5–10 minutes.
Dress in soft, cotton clothes – Avoid wool or synthetic fabrics that can irritate the skin.
Keep the skin cool – Overheating can worsen the rash. Keep your baby’s room well-ventilated.
Identify and avoid triggers – Sometimes, certain foods (if solids have started), laundry detergents, or skincare products can trigger a reaction.
Consult a pediatrician – If the rash is spreading, oozing, or not improving, your doctor may prescribe a mild steroid cream or suggest allergy testing.
