Q.
My baby is 5 months old and recently i can see red small small spots on his back and face. Also from past few days he is showing certain signs of teething. So my doubt is whether small spots on the body is also a part of teething or there any other medical condition? I have been using Sebamed products from beginning. #AskTheExpert

Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. you have to just balance according to the type of skin of the child.
usually the skin of the child is mainly dry and sensitive then in these areas you have to apply coconut oil or moisturizing lotion
in the areas where sweating is present and skin folds there is no need to apply oil or lotion but you have to regularly clean it with soap and you can apply baby powder if needed.
take care of the skin child in this manner on the whole body.
it is not due to teething
teething is not directly related to digestion problem or any type of fever or loose motion or illness but during the teething process children place dirty things or dirty fingers in the oral cavity (this help in self soothing) which can lead to digestion problem or vomiting or loose motion or infection which can cause fever.
placing dirty fingers or dirty objects in the oral cavity continues for 2 years of age and in this phase only the child falls ill during the teetdhing phase
remember the fact that teething continues for 10 years but the child doesn't fall ill for 10 years
