Most cases of skin rash disappear on their own within a few days. They don’t require any treatment. But, the baby is highly uncomfortable during this period due to continuous burning and itching sensations. You can calm your baby by following these simple yet effective home remedies -Only Use Light & Breathable Fabrics: Always look for lightweight and breathable fabric like cotton. Never wash your baby’s clothes using a strong bleach and detergent. These harsh chemicals may cause skin irritation and lead to rashes. -Apply Skin Creams And Lotions To Your Baby’s Rash: It is always advisable to be careful before using any skin product on your child as they may be allergic to one of the ingredients present in these products. Use Cold Compress: You can also try using cold compress on the affected region to soothe the skin inflammation. -Maintain Good Skin Hygiene: If you follow a regular bathing and good hygiene practice for your baby, you may treat and prevent your baby from these skin rashes. -Use Only Boiled Or Distilled Water: Remember to use only boiled or distilled water to bathe your baby. This will ensure that the bathing water doesn’t contain any harmful microbes that may otherwise harm your baby. -Massage With Coconut Oil: You can also try massaging your baby with coconut oil twice a day. This results in soft, clean skin. Also, the anti-microbial properties of this oil prevent skin infection. Your baby’s neck rash may disappear on its own. However, you should call your baby’s pediatrician if it is accompanied by fever. Pus-filled or fluid-filled skin blisters on your baby could indicate an infection that may require antibiotics. You must immediately call the pediatrician if your baby is crying and can’t be consoled, or is dull and inactive, or not having food properly. If you notice small red dots or spots that don’t disappear when presssed.This condition is known as petechiae and can indicate a serious infection.
