Most often it is represented by red spots of irregular shape. Less commonly, papules, vesicles or pustules appear. Favorite places localization of spots - cheeks, folds, hairy part heads, bends of arms and legs.

The appearance of a spot or a profuse rash on the body may indicate the development of rubella in a child. This is a viral pathology that most often occurs in mild form. Rubella is accompanied by a rash, fever and swollen lymph nodes. The peculiarity of this disease is that it often leads to outbreaks. They occur every 6-9 years.

Medicines such as Triderm and Akriderm have proven themselves well.
The skin of a newborn and a child in the first months of life reacts very vividly to everything - the nutrition of a nursing mother, the quality of the diaper, and even the air in the room. What spots and rashes on a baby’s skin are normal, and what indicates poor care or ill health? With the help of our review, a young mother can easily figure out what's what.
What to do if you notice an unknown spot on your baby’s skin? Be sure to contact your pediatrician: he will determine which category it belongs to and whether the child will need treatment. The spots that you may find on your baby's skin usually belong to one of the following groups.
Age spots café au lait, round or irregular in shape. They are usually not very noticeable, although sometimes they are as large as five ruble coin. Most likely, they will stay with the baby for life. If you notice more than five of these spots, consult a doctor.
Dark birthmarks spots - different shapes, sometimes covered with hairs, can appear on any part of the body. They also last a lifetime and are usually no hassle. You should consult your doctor if they begin to change shape or grow.
Red birthmarks sometimes occur in newborns on the forehead, wings of the nose, eyelids, lips or on the back of the head. Their cause is the expansion of small blood vessels at the time of birth of the baby. If such formations are located symmetrically, for example on both eyelids or on the wings of the nose, they will most likely disappear within a year. And spots that appear one by one can remain for life.
Mongoloid spot- a blue-purple mark on the lower back or bottom - usually found in children with dark skin. It does not require treatment and disappears by 12-15 years.
Hemangiomas- red spots, slightly protruding above the surface of the skin, which are formed from small blood vessels, located close to each other. Hemangiomas are often mistaken for normal birthmark(in medicine these are called capillary dysplasias), but the difference between them is that the spots do not grow. But a hemangioma can greatly increase in the first months of a baby’s life, slightly slowing down its growth by 5-6 months of age.
Hemangiomas can occur on the body of babies in any place and even go deep into the skin. They are the most different sizes and shapes: round and elongated, similar to stars or spiders. Hemangiomas are treated much more often than other spots on the skin.
Hemangiomas can be flat or convex. Convex - soft red formations - form in last weeks pregnancy or immediately after the birth of the baby: a red dot appears on the skin, which quickly increases in size. None discomfort The child does not suffer from growing spots; some tumors disappear on their own by 2-3 years. But if the hemangioma is located in an awkward place, such as under a diaper, irritation may occur due to friction. As for flat formations, there are almost no problems with them; they do not grow, and therefore there is no need to treat them.
Most often, hemangiomas are harmless: the spot does not hurt, does not itch, and even if it appears on the eyelids, lips or tongue (and this also happens), it does not affect the functioning of the organ. But it happens that hemangiomas become inflamed and become infected. And the fact that the unpleasant spot is gradually increasing in size is a powerful argument for parents to quickly begin treating the baby. After all, even doctors cannot predict how quickly and how much a hemangioma will grow.
There are two ways to get rid of hemangioma: either remove surgically(laser), or act on its cells so that they die off on their own. The first method is used in difficult cases, for example, when the spot grows quickly or goes deep into the skin. In other situations, doctors will most likely try to freeze the hemangioma - this method is called cryotherapy and is now considered the most effective.
The treatment procedure lasts no more than a minute: using a special apparatus, a small disk cooled with liquid nitrogen is applied to the stain. Under the influence of cold (and temperature liquid nitrogen minus 196 °C!) hemangioma tissue is destroyed in just 7-10 seconds if the spot is on the mucous membranes, and in 20-25 seconds if it is located on the skin.
After a few hours, a flat bubble appears at the site of the hemangioma, which is replaced by a dry crust on the 5-7th day. It disappears on the 25-30th day, leaving a pink scar, which after 3-4 months becomes almost indistinguishable from healthy skin. Using this method, it is possible to get rid of a small hemangioma in just one session, and a large one - in several procedures.
Redness on the cheeks or a rash on the bottom occurs at least occasionally in any baby. We will tell you what skin problems bother babies most often and how to help your baby.
Diaper rash. This is redness of the skin on the butt, around anus, in the groin and between the buttocks. It occurs due to moisture and friction if the mother changes the diaper too rarely (the temperature in an overfilled diaper can reach +40 °C!).
You need to change the diaper every 3-4 hours, and after washing the baby, leave him naked for 10 minutes so that the skin can breathe. Can be applied to reddened areas baby cream or powder (you cannot combine both products!). If the damaged area begins to get wet, rinse it with chamomile decoction or bay leaf and lubricate with drying cream with zinc oxide.
Diaper (contact) dermatitis. The problem is more common among girls than boys; artificial babies, allergy sufferers. The appearance of pimples with a whitish liquid on the baby’s bottom, genitals and thighs (and before that, redness, swelling and peeling are possible) may mean that the diaper does not suit him or detergent, which was used to wash the sliders. Wash your butt several times a day with running water, wipe it dry and lubricate it with a drying cream. Do not use wet cleaning wipes or, in extreme cases, diapers.
Prickly heat. If the apartment is hot and the baby sweats a lot, then a small red rash appears on his shoulders, back, and in the folds of the skin (on the butt and groin). Heat rash indicates that the baby is overheating, and since work sweat glands up to 2 years is not yet established, sweat accumulates and clogs the gland ducts. Open the baby often and rinse warm water, wear cotton clothes. A cream with zinc oxide will help soothe the skin.
Fungal infection. Harmful microorganisms and fungi can get into the damaged areas - then round reddish spots with fringed edges, pustules or ulcers will appear on the baby’s skin. The doctor will prescribe for the baby complex treatment: ointment, antifungal drug, vitamins, means to strengthen the immune system.
Hives. A scattering of reddish blisters on the skin itches and bothers the child. Most often, allergic reactions manifest themselves this way: to foods, medications, or synthetic clothing that are previously unfamiliar to the baby. Lubricate the skin with antiallergic ointment, and if the baby is very worried, you can give him an antiallergic drug, which the doctor will recommend.
Allergic diathesis. This is not a real allergy, but only a predisposition to it. Diathesis often begins in the 3rd month in children with overweight. Crimson cheeks, red scaly rash behind the ears, on the neck, legs - his characteristic features. In this case, if the mother is breastfeeding, she will have to exclude whole cow's milk, eggs, fish, honey, citrus fruits.

1. Clotrimazole and Candide are the same thing, read the instructions. Only the manufacturers are different and Candide is cheaper.
2. Any diapers are suitable for some, but not for others. And this is connected not only with the brand and body structure, but also with where to buy them, where they are produced, etc. More details in this section: http://www.medicinform.net/deti/
3. Diapers should not lead to any diaper rash! This simply indicates a high temperature around, or untimely replacement. For example, the only time we had diaper rash was in the 2nd week of life in the maternity hospital. They opened the diaper - and everything was red. Never been home. Even in the summer, when we wear it at night and for a walk.
When my pimples already appear, then ointments don’t help, it gets even worse. I save myself with regular streptocide for 3 rubles. In the pharmacy it is sold in powder, but in small crystals. I rub it completely into dust and together with powder or just sprinkle a little on the affected area :) 2 times and the butt is fine.

Sergey, the less you use cosmetic products, the healthier skin at the child!!! Heat rash (those red dots) from re-wrapping the child, reduce the number of clothes. Put her on a diaper more often with her bare bottom. We had the same thing, as if the skin was peeling off under the neck. They saved themselves in a series (1 tablet (tablet series) per 0.5 liter of boiling water and 250 grams per baby bath) bathed twice a day, that was the only way they were saved, but the cream only made it worse. Bübchen's oil is nothing, but the cream only clogs the folds, rolls up and does not allow the skin to breathe. Colic can occur from birth and last up to 3-5 months.
1.Chicco cream helps well against diaper rash.
2. It is better to bathe a child up to the 3rd month in boiled water with chamomile and string. Others don't bathe, but we decided it was better to be safe.

7. It is better to blot thoroughly with a towel and lubricate the baby with cosmetic baby milk.

I think this is about the same thing: I have a question on 03.ru pediatric dermatologist asked. Here is my question and the consultant's answer:
Please tell me how to determine whether a child has diathesis. My daughter is 7.5 months old, we have been feeding on breast milk since she was 5.5 months old. started complementary feeding with vegetables, fruits and porridge. My cheeks periodically become red, especially in the evening, but I attribute this to the cold weather. The skin on the body (except for the diaper area and back) is rough, but if you regularly apply cream after bathing, it goes away almost completely. I think that we don’t have much water, and the air in the apartment is dry. What if this is still diathesis? I didn’t notice a pronounced reaction to any products. How can you tell the difference?

Dear Victoria! According to the description it is seborrheic dermatitis, which occurs in every second child under one year of age. It occurs against the background of insufficient functioning of the biliary tract in young children. Advice: smear your skin with baby cream 5-6 times a day. exclude heavy vegetables from your diet: apples, cauliflower, zucchini. Watch for a year, it should get better
We had the same problem. I wrote about this. We thought about diathesis. The doctor said it was chapping. They started applying Radevit. And it passed. Bottom in 3-4. The cheeks are smooth and rosy. Give it a try.
In the morning, my daughter woke up with what is called a speckled face. At first I didn’t attach much importance to this, but when my baby showed her character in whims, I became worried. I was in no hurry to see the doctor and decided to independently find out the cause of my child’s rashes.
It is important to determine the nature of the red rash; the effectiveness of treatment depends on it!
It turned out that the child had a red rash on his body or his separate parts can appear for quite a few reasons:
There is no need to be afraid. Postpartum or neonatal rash in a baby it occurs on the 7-21st day of its life outside the mother’s body and goes away on its own by 2-3 months. She appears completely suddenly. The cause of this rash is the influence of the mother’s hormones on the child while still in the womb.
Neonatal rash is a natural phenomenon that is absolutely safe for the health of babies.
The rashes spread mainly on the surface of the scalp of the baby, and also affect the cheeks and neck, periodically changing their location in the described areas. The rash itself is small, pink-red, not accompanied by suppuration and/or inflammatory processes, and is slightly rough to the touch. A postpartum rash does not cause unpleasant or disturbing sensations to an infant.
The rashes occur in approximately a third of newborns and do not pose any danger to those “spattered” or to those around them. There is no need to treat neonatal rash.
A type of neonatal rash is toxic redness of the skin on the cheeks and/or near the mouth, caused by dilation of the capillaries. Rashes look like spots , having different irregular shapes. This rash may occur immediately after birth. There is no need to treat it, nor do you need to panic about its occurrence.
Despite the fact that toxic redness of the skin looks scary, it also does not require medical intervention.
However, red small rash may appear not only as a consequence of overheating, but also be a clear symptom of one of the infectious diseases:
More than every person gets chickenpox once in their life.
If you suspect that your baby has measles, call the doctor immediately!
red spots, high temperature, weakness - these are the main symptoms of rubella.
Roseola is a contagious disease that does not require any(!) treatment.
Scarlet fever is most easily diagnosed by a characteristic rash on the tongue.
Meningitis is a deadly disease! Sick children are immediately hospitalized.
The rashes can also be allergic in nature. The rash, perhaps with, is similar to the neonatal one, but the rashes themselves are not localized in the head and neck area, but appear randomly on any part of the skin of the body. Allergic rashes are characterized by the presence of a crust behind the ears.
The onset of eczema may be preceded by thermal, mechanical, chemical factors. Eczema can also indicate problems with the endocrine, gastrointestinal, nervous and excretory systems. Eczema rashes can appear on any area of the skin.
If your baby is covered with an incomprehensible rash, it is advisable to as soon as possible visit a dermatologist for a diagnosis.
Alexandra about measles:
"In kids lately terrible measles has become more common compared to previous decades. This is probably due to mothers refusing vaccinations, but complications can arise when getting vaccinated against measles... up to toxic shock and seizures. How to deal with this? I went to the pediatrician and clarified the nagging question. According to her, there should be no allergies in principle, but in particular to chicken protein, antibiotics and something else that we don’t have. In general, check with your pediatrician in advance about all possible contraindications.”
Sima about diaper rash:
“I’m Misha, and I also sprinkled powder on top of him. A day later the rash was gone. Only slight redness remains. It's already zinc ointment can be anointed. I forgot the main thing: after I washed Misha, I dried his butt with warm air from a hairdryer. Everything worked great for us.”
Evgeniya about chickenpox:
“My family and I were going to the seaside, and my son fell ill with chickenpox one day before the trip (and for the second time)! I had to leave him at home with my dad. When his temperature dropped, his dad brought him to us (still with green spots). My daughter and I were worried that we might also get infected, but after water procedures at sea, they stopped being afraid, and on the second day all traces of my son’s sores disappeared. Here"!
Dear parents, do not self-medicate! If you have any alarming symptoms, go to the doctor!
Human skin can be called an indicator of health. This is especially true small child, skin which are very sensitive to any changes - as in external conditions, and in the general condition of the internal organs and systems of the body.

It comes in a variety of colors, ranging from clear or white color and until bright red. The characteristics that describe rashes directly depend on their etiology or the illness that they accompany.
Among the diseases of dermatological etiology, the symptoms of which are a variety of rashes, the following can be noted:
Almost always skin diseases are caused by problems with internal organs and systems in conjunction with the impact external factors. For example, neurodermatitis can be triggered by malfunctions of the nervous and endocrine systems due to decreased immunity. In such a situation it is required complex therapy using medications, and not just ointments or creams.
Psoriasis on the hands of a child As for psoriasis, initial stage outwardly it looks like an allergic reaction, but over time the plaques take on a characteristic appearance. Another name for the disease is lichen planus. Psoriasis and eczema are very rare in children one month old. Genetic predisposition to these diseases only after 2 years.

Heat rash on the face of a baby One of the important characteristics of rashes on the body is their localization. It is by what part of the body the spots, dots or pimples are located that one can determine the nature of the problem and the disease that became the root cause of their appearance.
Naturally, this is not the only parameter that is necessary to establish an accurate diagnosis, but it is quite possible to reduce the number of variants of ailments. However, a dermatologist should analyze the factors that caused the appearance of a rash on a particular part of the body and how to treat it in order to avoid serious consequences of self-medication.

Allergic rash on a child's foot The main factor that can trigger the appearance of a rash on the abdomen is infection, in particular, such well-known diseases as measles, rubella, scarlet fever and chicken pox. With timely and competent treatment, the rash begins to disappear within 3-4 days.
Usually, in addition to the abdomen, the skin is affected in other places. However, if the rash is present exclusively on the abdomen, then contact dermatitis is most likely caused by an allergen coming into contact with the baby's tummy.
A rash on the head or neck is most often a result of heat rash. In this case, it is necessary to normalize the child’s thermoregulation and ensure proper care for the skin. You can also smear the affected areas with ointments and bathe the baby in a series.
