Most infants have very delicate skin but you may find that your baby’s skin seems to be extra sensitive. Here are some tips for identifying and treating sensitive skin

How Do I Treat Sensitive Skin?

Q: How do I know if my baby has sensitive skin?

A: If your baby gets recurrent rashes and dry skin, you may need to take extra precautions to keep their delicate skin healthy. Babes with sensitive skin can be irritated by certain soaps, lotions, detergents, frequent bathing and temperature changes. If your baby’s skin reacts to any of these, they likely have sensitive skin.
There are many types of skin irritations that your baby may experience. Here are a few of the most common and what you can do to treat them. Make sure to see your child’s pediatrician if symptoms don’t improve or get worse.

• Diaper Rash
If the area around your baby’s bottom is red, they may have a diaper rash. Diaper rashes occur when a diaper is too tight, a wet diaper has been left on for too long or a particular brand of diaper or baby wipe has irritated the skin. Treat it by cleaning the area with water and a washcloth, pat your baby’s bum dry and apply diaper rash cream.

• Eczema
An itchy, red rash that appears on Baby’s face, elbow, chest, arms or behind the knees may be eczema and can be triggered by environmental irritants (such as pollen or cigarette smoke), or allergens in your child’s diet. Current medical opinion recommends daily baths for eczema-prone babies, but make sure to use soap and shampoo at the end so your wee one isn’t sitting in soapy water. 

• Heat Rash
Small, pinkish-red bumps that appear in sweat-prone areas like the neck, diaper area and armpits indicate your baby may have heat rash. Humid weather is the culprit for this skin irritation, but it can happen in winter too if your baby is over-bundled. Cool your baby off by removing his or her clothing, apply a cool, wet cloth to the affected areas and let your baby air-dry. Do not rub your babe’s skin with a towel or use ointments or moisturizing creams, which can make heat rash worse. Make sure to keep your little one cool, and see a doctor if the rash doesn’t get better.
