POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. For a 1-month-old baby with rashes, the treatment depends on the type of rash and its cause.
1. Common Causes & Remedies
✅ Diaper Rash (Redness in the diaper area)
Use diaper rash cream with zinc oxide (like Desitin, B4 Nappi, or Sebamed Diaper Cream). Keep the area dry and change diapers frequently. Give diaper-free time to allow the skin to breathe.
✅ Heat Rash (Small red bumps on the neck, chest, or back)
Apply calamine lotion (like Caladryl). Use baby powder with cornstarch or Himalaya Prickly Heat Powder (avoid talc-based powders). Dress baby in loose cotton clothes and keep the room cool.
✅ Milk Rash / Allergic Rash (Red patches around mouth, cheeks, or chest)
Apply fragrance-free baby moisturizer (like Sebamed, Cetaphil, or Atogla cream). Wash baby’s face after feeding to avoid milk residue irritation.
✅ Dry Skin or Eczema (Scaly, itchy skin)
Use a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer (like Aveeno Baby Cream, Mustela, or Cetaphil Baby Lotion). Avoid harsh soaps; use mild baby wash (like Dove Baby or Sebamed). 2. When to See a Doctor?
❌ Rash spreads quickly or worsens.
❌ Blisters, pus, or severe itching occur.
