A. If your son's face is burning, it could be due to a variety of reasons, including sunburn, skin irritation, allergic reaction, or eczema flare-ups. Here are a few things you can consider and steps you can take: 1. Sunburn: If he has been out in the sun for a long time, especially without protection, sunburn could be the cause. Sunburn happens when the skin is overexposed to the sun's UV rays, causing redness, pain, and sometimes peeling. Treatment: Keep his skin cool by applying cold compresses or giving him a cool bath. You can use aloe vera gel (ensure it's pure and without additives) to soothe the skin. Make sure to hydrate him by offering plenty of fluids. Prevention: In the future, apply a baby-safe sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to exposed areas, even on cloudy days. Dress him in protective clothing and a hat to shield from the sun. 2. Skin Irritation: Sensitive skin: Babies have very sensitive skin, and sometimes even mild irritants like soap, lotions, or even fabrics can cause a reaction. Treatment: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer or a calming lotion like calamine to reduce irritation. Keep the skin moisturized to prevent dryness. Avoid harsh chemicals: Avoid using soaps with fragrances or strong chemicals that may irritate the skin. Use mild, baby-friendly products. 3. Allergic Reaction: If you've introduced a new product (like food, lotion, or detergent), an allergic reaction could be causing the burning sensation. Treatment: Stop using the new product, and if the irritation persists, you may want to consult a pediatrician. If the reaction is severe, the doctor may recommend an antihistamine or a topical cream. 4. Heat Rash: Babies are prone to heat rash in hot weather, especially if they are dressed too warmly. This could lead to redness and a feeling of warmth on the skin. Treatment: Keep your baby cool by dressing them in light, breathable clothes. A cool bath can help reduce discomfort, and calamine lotion can soothe the rash. If the redness or burning persists or worsens, or if you notice other symptoms like swelling, blisters, or fever, it’s important to consult with a pediatrician to rule out more serious conditions and get the appropriate treatment.
