she has rashes on her face...what could be the reason!?? she has dry skin

Question

Accepted Answer

If your 10-month-old baby has rashes on her face and also has dry skin, the most likely reasons could be:

Possible Causes: Dry Skin or Eczema – If her skin is rough, red, or itchy, it could be baby eczema, which is common in dry-skinned babies. Heat Rash – Small red bumps due to sweating or heat. Allergic Reaction – Could be due to a new food, soap, detergent, or lotion. Teething Rash – Excessive drooling can irritate the skin around the mouth and cheeks. Infection or Diaper Rash Spread – If the rashes spread to other areas, it could be a mild skin infection. What You Can Do:

✔ Apply a fragrance-free baby moisturizer after a bath to prevent dryness.
✔ Use coconut oil or mild baby cream for soothing the skin.
✔ Avoid harsh soaps and chemical-based lotions. Use mild baby soap and lukewarm water.
✔ Keep her skin hydrated by offering enough fluids.
✔ If drooling, wipe her face gently with a soft cotton cloth and apply a barrier cream.
✔ Monitor for allergies – Check if a new food, fabric, or detergent is causing irritation.
