POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Pimple-type marks on a 7-month-old baby’s hands, even with protective clothing, could be due to several reasons:
1. **Heat Rash**: Sometimes called prickly heat, this occurs when sweat gets trapped in the skin, leading to small red bumps. This can happen even with clothing if the baby gets too warm.
2. **Eczema**: This common skin condition can cause red, itchy patches or small bumps. It might appear on various parts of the body, including the hands.
3. **Allergic Reaction**: The baby might be reacting to something in their environment, like certain fabrics, detergents, or foods.
4. **Infections**: Viral or bacterial infections can cause rashes or bumps.
5. **Contact Dermatitis**: Irritation from contact with certain materials or substances can cause a rash.
To manage the condition:
- **Keep the Skin Cool**: Avoid overheating and use breathable fabrics.
- **Moisturize**: Apply a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer to the affected areas.
- **Monitor for Allergies**: Note any new products or foods introduced recently and consider discontinuing them to see if it helps.
- **Consult a Pediatrician**: If the rash persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms, it’s best to consult a pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
