1. Identify the Cause
✔ Heat rash (prickly heat): Small red bumps, worsens in hot weather.
✔ Baby acne: Tiny red or white bumps, common in newborns.
✔ Eczema: Dry, itchy, red patches, sometimes scaly.
✔ Allergic reaction: Sudden rash due to soap, lotion, or fabric.
2. Home Remedies for Rash Relief
✅ Keep Skin Cool & Dry: Avoid overheating and dress your baby in loose, cotton clothes.
✅ Use Breast Milk: Applying a few drops of breast milk can help soothe baby acne.
✅ Gentle Cleansing: Wash with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free baby cleanser.
✅ Apply Coconut Oil/Aloe Vera: Natural and soothing for rashes (avoid if baby is allergic).
✅ Use a Mild Moisturizer: If dry and itchy, apply a fragrance-free baby lotion.
✅ Avoid Harsh Products: No scented soaps, lotions, or wipes.
3. When to See a Doctor?
⚠️ If the rash spreads rapidly or has pus.
⚠️ If baby has fever, swelling, or extreme discomfort.
⚠️ If the rash lasts more than a week without improvement.
