POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. Small, red bumps on a baby’s skin, resembling mosquito bites, are often due to common skin reactions, such as sensitivity to fabrics, detergents, mild eczema, or even insect bites. In many cases, these mild rashes can be managed at home. Here’s what you can do:
1. Observe for Other Symptoms: If your baby is not unusually fussy, and there’s no sign of fever, swelling, or fluid in the bumps, it may be a mild reaction.
2. Keep the Area Clean: Gently wash the area with lukewarm water and avoid any harsh soaps or lotions.
3. Apply a Mild Moisturizer: Baby-safe, fragrance-free moisturizers can help soothe the skin.
4. Monitor for Spreading: If the bumps start to spread, worsen, or seem itchy, a pediatrician visit would be helpful.
If the rash persists for more than a few days, seems painful, or if your baby appears uncomfortable, checking with a pediatrician or dermatologist would be wise to rule out any allergies or infections.
