POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. Heat boils or heat rashes in newborns are common due to the sensitivity of their skin and the tendency for sweat to get trapped in the pores. To avoid further rashes, keep your baby cool by dressing them in loose, breathable cotton clothes, and ensure that the environment is not too hot or humid. Avoid overbundling or covering the baby with heavy blankets. Gently wash the affected area with lukewarm water and keep the skin dry. Avoid using any harsh soaps or creams. If the boils appear inflamed, you can apply a mild, baby-safe moisturizer or hydrocortisone cream (under pediatrician guidance). If the boils persist, worsen, or seem to cause discomfort, consult your pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
