I’ll share my method: smear the child’s eyebrows with a thick layer of baby cream, the most common one, with a cat and a puppy, wait 30 minutes, during this time sterilize the eyebrow brush, I have a cap with a brush from an eyebrow pencil, then comb out the softened crusts with a brush in different directions, do very carefully, constantly wipe the brush on a napkin. Then we apply dexapanthenol, wait another five minutes and wipe with a soft paper handkerchief in the direction of eyebrow growth. We got it all done in one go. You are still just babies, they will soon go away on their own and the naughtiness will stop, of course you can apply Mustela or bepanthen or oil.
The main causes of acne in children
Acne on a child's body can appear for a number of reasons. These may be:
- Teething. This is a common cause of acne on the face of a child. Most often, such pimples are localized around the mouth. This is due to the fact that during this period babies experience increased salivation. Acne goes away as soon as the period of eruption and drooling ends.
- Allergic reactions. Large and small red pimples in a child may be one of the manifestations of allergies. Such rashes appear suddenly and are sometimes accompanied by itching. If, in addition to acne, the child has a runny nose and sneezing (without other signs of a cold), then the allergic origin of the acne is beyond doubt. It is necessary to eliminate the allergen and the rash will go away.
- Miliaria (milliaria). Small pimples on a child's body can be a manifestation of common heat rash.
- Reaction to vaccination. Such reactions can be individual, including the appearance of a rash. If acne appears soon after vaccination, you should immediately show it to your doctor.
- Skin contamination. Children's skin is very delicate and requires careful care and cleaning. If the skin is heavily soiled, inflamed and purulent acne may appear in the child. In this case, there is also a high risk of infection.
- Frostbite, sunburn, chapping. Adverse weather conditions can have a significant impact on children's sensitive skin. In this case, you need to be careful and use special protective creams.
- Acneiform rash. This is the name given to acne in an infant that appears as a result of the mother taking certain medications during pregnancy: steroids, drugs with lithium or phenytoin. It may also be a consequence of certain diseases of the mother.
- Insect bites. Swollen red pimples in a child that are unevenly located on different parts of the body can be the result of insect bites. It is important to prevent this by using repellents, as sometimes bites can lead to severe allergic reactions, as well as exposure to certain diseases and parasites.
- Streptoderma. This is an infection of the skin with streptococci. Streptoderma comes in various forms. Some of them cause red water pimples in the child.
- Staphylococcal skin infection (vesiculopustulosis). When infected with staphylococci, white and purulent pimples appear in the child on different parts of the body. This disease can be very dangerous and requires immediate medical attention.
- Children's infectious diseases. Acne on different parts of a child’s body can be the result of various infectious diseases (chickenpox, measles, meningitis, rubella and others).
- In this case, in addition to acne, children also develop other signs of these diseases: weakness, sore throat, chills, fever, headache, etc.
- Intestinal dysbiosis. This condition is characterized by the appearance of small pimples on the child’s face, eyebrows, scalp, and sometimes all over the body. The affected areas of the skin often itch.
- Diabetes. Pimples on a child's bottom, as well as in the genital area, can be one of the signs of diabetes. Acne is caused by high levels of sugar in a child's urine.
- Puberty. Red, black and white pimples in a teenage child appear due to changes in hormonal levels. At this age, children may develop acne, blackheads, open and closed comedones. This is usually an age-related phenomenon and goes away on its own as the child grows older. However, during this period it is necessary to teach the child careful skin care so that such rashes do not become permanent.
Hygiene procedures
To get rid of this unpleasant phenomenon, the following manipulations should be carried out. How to bathe a baby to get rid of crusts?
- During hygiene procedures, immerse the child in water so that only the face remains on the surface. This way, the crusts will become softer and easier to separate from the skin.
- After bathing, dry the surface behind the ears. Take a small piece of gauze and wrap it around your finger. Soak it in sea buckthorn oil. Lubricate a clean and dry surface to relieve irritation. Be careful: sea buckthorn oil can stain clothes!
- After a couple of minutes, gently wipe the treated areas. Remove any remaining oil and any plaque along with it.
Now you know how to bathe a baby. By following these rules, you can combat the appearance of severe irritation. This kind of ear care is a prevention of the problem. If you do not have the opportunity to bathe your child every day, then try to wipe the area behind the ears every day with a cotton pad dipped in warm water. After this, you can apply moisturizer or baby oil. This will soften the tissue and help gently remove plaque.
Important! Particular attention should be paid to caring for your ears in hot weather. In summer, sweat accumulates especially quickly in this area, and the baby will suffer from diaper rash and irritation. Subsequently, the inflammatory process will begin and pathogenic microflora may join. If you notice that moisture constantly accumulates behind your ears in the heat, then use powder.
Acne in a child in the first months of life
Of great concern to parents is the appearance of acne in a small child (infancy).
Acne in newborns
At the same time, acne can appear on the face or cover the entire body. This is how a skin disease called “newborn acne” (acne neonatorum) manifests itself.
Why does acne appear in children?
It usually appears within six months from the birth of the baby, and about 20% of newborn children suffer from it.
Sometimes even pediatricians confuse newborn acne with atopic (allergic) dermatitis or other types of rash, so it is important for parents to know the distinctive signs of this disease.
Causes of acne
- The appearance of yellowish, whitish-pearly or white pimples in a child, looking like papules or pustules.
- No comedones.
- Pimples are located in close groups, sometimes merging into large spots.
- Frequent areas of rash: all areas of the face, back of the head, penis (in boys). Much less commonly, the rash appears on the neck and upper chest.
Burdock infusion
A fairly effective folk remedy in the fight against seborrheic dermatitis is burdock infusion. The medicine is prepared according to the following scheme:
- Take several shoots of burdock.
- The raw materials are passed through a meat grinder or crushed in a blender.
- The pulp is placed in a piece of gauze and the juice is squeezed out.
- About 2 teaspoons of the substance are combined with a few drops of burdock oil.
- Add half a dessert spoon of liquid honey to the composition.
- The resulting mass is mixed until a homogeneous consistency.
- The product is left to infuse for 24 hours.
The medicine is applied to damaged scalp. Place a layer of cling film on top. The baby's head is covered with a cap. After an hour, the product is thoroughly washed off with warm water. The hair is allowed to dry without using a hair dryer. Therapy is performed several times a week. The method allows you to eliminate severe symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis within a month.
Causes of acne in newborns
Neonatal acne is the subject of specialist study, so all the causes of its occurrence have not yet been identified.
Acne in children in the first months of life
Let us note only those that have already been proven. And this:
- excess content of maternal hormones that are passed on to the baby during the intrauterine period;
- restructuring of the baby’s own hormonal system;
- excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands;
- clogged pores and hair follicles of the skin;
- excessive formation of lipophilic yeasts, which lead to inflammation.
Treatment of acne in newborns is carried out after an accurate diagnosis has been established and numerous other dermatoses that occur in young children have been excluded. As a rule, in order for the examination to be comprehensive and treatment to be adequate, the child will need to be shown not only to a pediatrician and dermatologist, but also to an endocrinologist and an allergist-immunologist.
Parents' actions
It is better to remove crusts immediately after they appear, since at first they can be barely noticeable, and then quickly grow and form a dense crust, which is much more difficult to remove. Although many experts do not see the need to do this and advise just waiting until the problem goes away on its own (but this does not always happen).
Important! It is strictly forbidden to mechanically peel off crusts from dry skin, as this can not only injure the baby’s delicate skin, but also cause an infection.
What should parents do when their newborn’s forehead and eyebrows peel:
- First you need to soften the crusts with regular baby oil, or even simple olive or coconut oil. You need to note how much time remains before swimming - it should be at least an hour. Lubricate all places where scales appear. If they are on the scalp, then after applying the oil, put on a cap;
- Remove scales using a blunt-toothed comb or brush. You can use a soft toothbrush to remove crusts behind the ear and on the eyebrows. It is best to do this after lathering your hair with shampoo, but it can also be done before washing;
Removing crusts
- Thoroughly rinse off the shampoo with the scales removed.
Important! After one procedure, all scales will not be removed; it may need to be repeated.
Acne in a child during the first years of life
Acne in a child of the first year of life can also be one of the types of acne - childhood acne (acne infantum). Most often, they are associated with an excess of testosterone in the blood plasma caused by metabolic disorders. With this disease, acne on a child’s face often becomes inflamed, which is why they sometimes leave scars.
Most often, childhood acne affects boys, appearing between the ages of three months and a year or two and sometimes persists up to three or four years.
To summarize, we can say that the appearance of any type of acne in a child should be a reason to consult a doctor and find out the exact cause of its appearance.
Among all types of rashes on the face or body, purulent acne is the most dangerous. They can appear at any age.
But if such rashes in adults require special care, then purulent acne in a child should not be ignored at all.
What reasons can influence their occurrence and how to treat these acne?
- All information on the site is for informational purposes only and is NOT a guide to action!
- can give you an ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS !
- We kindly ask you NOT to self-medicate, but to make an appointment with a specialist !
- Health to you and your loved ones!
Why do they appear?
The occurrence of purulent acne can be influenced by a variety of factors.
They represent a strong inflammatory process, accompanied by the formation of pus in the hair follicle. This is preceded by bacterial infection of the sebaceous gland secretion.
Rashes on the body (the photo shows the variety of types of such rashes) can have very different causes.
The most common are as follows.
- Hormonal imbalance. First of all, the activity of the sebaceous glands is caused by male sex hormones. Hormonal changes can be observed in adolescence, during pregnancy, in different phases of the menstrual cycle, due to taking hormonal medications.
- Hyperkeratosis. This is a condition accompanied by thickening and compaction of the upper layer of the epidermis.
- Insufficient skin cleansing. Washing with water is not always enough to completely cleanse the skin, so remaining dirt quickly becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.
- Improper skin care.
- Abuse of decorative cosmetics or use of comedogenic skin care products.
- Frequent situations of nervous tension.
- Diseases of various origins . Among them are those that are sexually transmitted. Adults do not always manage to avoid “childhood” infections if immunity to them has not been formed in due time. With psoriasis, red pimples may also appear, which quickly merge into dense plaques.
Children may have their own reasons leading to the formation of purulent acne:
- teething, accompanied by active salivation;
- prickly heat, which occurs due to overheating of the body;
- unfavorable environmental factors;
- intestinal dysbiosis;
- infectious lesions - staphylococcal infection, streptoderma.
Let's take a closer look at some factors.
Irritation
Skin irritation can be caused by rubbing with clothing or exposure to external factors (weather, household chemicals).
As a result, the top layer of skin is damaged, reddened, inflamed areas and small rashes appear on it.
Damaged epidermis cannot serve as a good defense against the penetration of bacteria. And as they develop, new pimples with purulent contents appear.
Photo: perioral dermatitis
In babies, irritation can easily occur around the mouth due to increased salivation.
Saliva itself is an irritating factor for the epidermis, so the formation of acne with subsequent infection is not uncommon.
Allergic reactions are a common cause of skin rashes.
Photo: manifestations of diathesis
- They can appear on almost any area: not only on the face, but also in skin folds and on the butt.
- Often small pimples merge into larger formations and begin to get wet.
- The situation is worsened by severe itching, which is sometimes accompanied by scratching the affected areas.
All this contributes to skin infection.
Viral diseases
Chickenpox, measles, meningitis, rubella and some other viral infections may be accompanied by skin rashes.
Usually in this case there are other symptoms of the presence of the virus in the body: fever, weakness, headache.
In such cases, consultation with a doctor is required.
Insect bites
Photo: rashes after insect bites
- Insect bites on the skin look similar to pimples.
- They are red, compacted, with a raised middle.
- But such formations do not have purulent contents.
- Another thing is that bites often cause severe itching. By scratching them, you can easily damage the epidermis and introduce an infection there. In this case, a purulent formation may appear at the site of the bite.
- Pimples from bites are located singly, without merging into groups. They may appear in places not specific to the rash (for example, on the knee) or be scattered throughout the body.

Pimples that appear can be of different types.
In many ways, this feature allows us to determine the cause of the rash:
- papules - red pimples, with a raised upper part that has no contents;
- pustules - formations with a white tip, which indicates the presence of purulent or watery contents inside;
- nodes - subcutaneous inflammation, which manifests itself as redness and thickening of the epidermis;
- cysts are large internal pimples, red or bluish in color, which are painful when palpated.
Watery
Watery pimples resemble colorless blisters, protruding like a hemisphere above the epidermis.
Photo: allergic rash
They may be a sign:
- allergic reactions - in this case the pimples are small, located in a close group;
- diaper rash - a similar rash can appear when the body overheats, especially in children of the first year of life; if the child’s skin does not receive proper care on time, then the miliaria can transform into a secondarily infected purulent rash;
Photo: chickenpox rash
- chicken pox - in this case, blisters appear very quickly, growing literally before our eyes from small reddish spots, first in the face and neck, then on the stomach, back, arms and legs, there are additional symptoms in the form of fever, itching;
Photo: lesion by molluscum contagiosum
- molluscum contagiosum - in this case, the vesicle that appears usually has a slightly depressed center with darkening inside it;
- herpes is a viral infection that manifests itself during periods of weakened immunity.
Most watery rashes require special treatment, so if you notice such pimples, you should consult a doctor.
Red in babies
Red rashes in infants may not pose a danger and do not require treatment.
Photo: baby acne
But parents are unlikely to be able to determine the severity of the situation on their own.
Red pimples can appear on a child’s body in the first six months of life, most often immediately after birth.
This is the so-called newborn acne. They indicate that the mother’s hormones entered the baby’s body, which caused a surge in the activity of the sebaceous glands.
There is no need to treat, let alone squeeze out, such pimples.
They go away on their own within a few days.
But this type of rash must be diagnosed by a doctor.
Causes of skin changes not caused by disease
Small pimples may appear on the head, under the eyes or in other parts of the body already in the maternity hospital. In the first month, such rashes go away on their own.
- Most often, red or white small pimples can appear in the first month in infants on the head or face. Children fed with breast milk receive hormones from their mother, which cause skin changes.
- An allergic reaction to components of the mother's diet if the child is breastfed. The appearance of pimples can be caused by an incorrectly selected mixture or improper dilution during artificial feeding.
- Perhaps this is a skin reaction to climate change.
- Red formations on the skin may be a sign of heat rash. Often a child is dressed too warmly at home and outside.
- Skin reaction to frost and wind.
- Use of cosmetics.
- Disorders of the intestines (for example, dysbiosis).
Rashes in babies in the first years of life
In infants and children of the first years of life, rashes may appear for the following reasons.
Photo: milia in a newborn
- Milia - occurs due to blockage of the sebaceous glands due to imperfection of their functioning. It looks like a lot of small white pimples on the face. There is no need to worry about this, nor do you need to do anything.
- Miliaria should not be a cause for concern, but serves as a signal that the child is being overly wrapped up.
- Allergic reactions – such rashes can often be found on the cheeks of a one-year-old child. They arise due to errors in the nutrition of a breastfeeding mother or as a reaction to introduced complementary foods. Allergies can also occur to baby skin care products and washing powder. Accordingly, a rash appears in places of such contact.
- Dysbacteriosis - imperfection of the digestive system can also manifest itself as a rash on the face. Parents usually notice such pimples on their child’s cheek. A doctor can make such a diagnosis; research data will be required.
It is not surprising that acne in a baby causes concern for parents.
Therefore, do not hesitate to contact your pediatrician with any questions.
Potential allergens
Until the nursing mother figures this out, it is better to exclude potential allergens from the diet:
- whole milk;
- condensed milk;
- sweets;
- coffee and strong tea;
- fish;
- egg yolk;
- red meat;
- nuts;
- baking;
- fruits of bright colors.
If the baby is artificial, then perhaps the doctor will recommend changing the formula. If the child is already receiving complementary foods, then you should monitor which foods increase irritation.
In addition to food, an allergic reaction can be triggered by:
- household chemicals;
- cat or dog hair;
- plant pollen;
- high air humidity and dust in the room.
Preschool and school age
Acne rarely appears in preschool children until puberty.
Therefore, if this happens, parents should pay special attention to this.
Photo: teenage acne
They can arise due to:
- hormonal disorders and malfunctions of the adrenal glands;
- infectious diseases;
- early puberty;
- miliaria;
- metabolic disorders.
All conditions are serious and require special treatment.
Locations
Purulent acne can occur on any part of the body.
Most often it is the head, chest, shoulders and back. Less often - stomach, arms, leg, butt. Most rarely, such pimples appear on the palms and soles.
The entire scalp area is prone to acne.
Photo: prickly heat on a baby’s head
They can be found on the face, in the hair, in the mouth and in the ear.
The face is the most common area for rashes. There are large sebaceous glands here and it is open to external influences.
Pimples on the forehead often appear due to:
- poor nutrition;
- gastrointestinal diseases;
- improper skin and hair care;
- hormonal imbalances.
The situation can be complicated by the presence of bangs, which make it difficult for the skin to breathe and can serve as a source of bacteria.
Very often, acne in the mouth appears due to a viral or bacterial infection.
Photo: follicular tonsillitis
Purulent formations in the throat are a sign of complicated sore throat.
Pimples on the lip are usually small in size and have a clearly visible white head. They are formed due to the penetration of bacteria into the pores of the skin.
This happens due to:
- pollution;
- touching lips with hands;
- low-quality lipstick;
- Habits of holding pencils and pens in your mouth.
Such rashes should be distinguished from herpes, which is characterized by blistering formations.
The rash on the tongue is usually white.
Photo: thrush in the mouth
But they can be a sign of thrush or stomatitis. A specialist can determine exactly.
- Typically, stomatitis is accompanied by an increase in body temperature, which is not typical for candidiasis.
- Such rashes are equally painful, so they need to be treated as soon as possible. Moreover, they do not go away on their own.
On the chin
Rashes on the chin occur due to hormonal disorders and malfunctions of the endocrine system.
Here you will need to consult an endocrinologist.
Pimples on the nose can be of different types.
- They often appear due to hypothermia or pollution.
- Purulent subcutaneous formations may be a sign of problems with the cardiovascular system or liver.
Pimples on the hands can be caused by excessive dry skin, hypothermia, contact with household chemicals, or be a sign of allergic reactions.

On the palms
There are no sebaceous glands on the palms, so acne in this area should be of concern.
It is best to consult a dermatologist.
On the neck and shoulders
- Rashes on the neck can be a sign of hormonal imbalances, especially if similar ones are present on the chin.
- But a rash can also appear due to skin irritation from clothing items and subsequent bacterial infection.
- If purulent pimples appear on the shoulders, then perhaps the whole point is due to the excessive covering of this area by clothing or bag straps. In summer, they can be caused by hair falling over the shoulders or excessive tanning.
Breast rashes are usually a sign of hormonal imbalance or taking hormonal medications.
Pimples on the stomach are a sign of infectious lesions.
It can be not only measles or rubella, but also syphilis. There is no need to treat them yourself.
Pimples on the butt easily appear due to wearing synthetic underwear, which prevents the skin from breathing normally.
Photo: rashes on buttocks
Purulent pimples on a child's bottom can be a sign of diabetes.
The appearance of purulent acne on the legs should also not be ignored.
They can be a consequence of hair removal or infectious diseases.
On my feet
Acne is rare here, so if it appears, you should consult a doctor. At best, it may turn out to be prickly heat, at worst, an infection.
Preventing skin peeling
Experienced parents know that milk crusts are quite insidious - they can appear again. To avoid this unpleasant phenomenon, you should maintain sufficient air humidity in the room. Evgeny Komarovsky recommends buying a humidifier and setting it to maintain air humidity at 50-70%.
You should not wash your baby’s head with soap too often, even if it is hypoallergenic and baby soap. Any soap is an alkaline environment, which dries out delicate baby skin and provokes the sebaceous glands to work excessively in order to moisturize the skin at any cost.

Features of treatment
Before you begin treatment for purulent acne, you need to establish their cause.
It is also recommended to approach treatment comprehensively:
- review your diet towards proper nutrition;
- strengthen personal hygiene;
- take additional vitamin complexes.
Cosmetic procedures
Cosmetic procedures that can help:
- Ultrasound therapy – it promotes deep cleansing of pores, improvement of blood microcirculation in skin cells, and natural healing of the skin occurs;
- different types of peelings - also deeply cleanse pores, remove excess dead cells from the surface;
- mesotherapy – with the help of special medicinal mixtures, not only inflammation is eliminated, but also a comprehensive solution to skin problems occurs.
All cosmetic procedures should be carried out outside the period of exacerbation.
Medication
All medications should be taken only as prescribed by a doctor.
Photo: A doctor should prescribe medications to a child
Depending on the reason and recommendations will be different.
What can help:
- hormonal ointments - usually with hydrocortisone, soothe the skin and regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands;
- ion-colloidal solution of silver - has antibacterial properties, essentially not being an antibiotic;
- Antibiotics – fight bacterial skin lesions.
At home
Home methods should complement the treatment prescribed by a specialist, but not replace it.
They promote faster healing of acne and skin regeneration:
- tar soap – has an anti-inflammatory effect and does not dry the skin;
- sea salt – improves metabolic processes, helps skin heal without scars (used in the form of baths);
- salicylic alcohol - applied spot-on to dry out acne and relieve inflammation;
- hydrogen peroxide – used in diluted form, has antimicrobial and drying properties;
- zinc paste - promotes the healing of even deep acne without scars on the skin.

They should absolutely not be squeezed out, because the infection will quickly spread to neighboring areas.
Caution is especially required in relation to children. Any purulent rash in them requires mandatory consultation with a doctor.

Quite often, parents watch with fear as red pimples break out on their child on various parts of the body, including the face. The first thought is an allergy, although in fact the cause of this phenomenon may be other diseases, on which the prescribed treatment methods and the speed of the baby’s recovery will depend. Therefore, the first thing that is recommended to do in this case is to find out what factors provoked these rashes.
On their own, at home, it will be very difficult for parents to determine why red pimples broke out on their child’s body. They can only analyze their baby’s lifestyle and menu, which may cause this irritation. If the reason lies in malfunctions and disruptions in the functioning of various systems of a small body, it is better to consult a doctor as soon as possible for a timely diagnosis. Among the factors that provoke the appearance of a rash are:
- teething (accompanied by copious salivation);
- diaper rash;
- reaction to vaccination;
- failure to comply with basic hygiene rules;
- low-quality clothing made from synthetic materials;
- overheating of the skin (if too many things are put on the baby and he becomes hot), resulting in prickly heat (in the hospital, such pimples are called milliaria);
- allergies (it is necessary to identify what the baby reacts to so violently in order to exclude his contact with this object or animal);
- diseases such as scarlet fever (accompanied by fever), chickenpox (fever), measles (a cough is added to the rash);
- streptoderma;
- infectious inflammation of the skin;
- dyshidrosis;
- molluscum contagiosum;
- enterovirus;
- external environmental factors: chapping, sunburn or frostbite, insect bites;
- acneiform rash in infants whose mother took certain medications during pregnancy: steroids, medications with lithium or phenytoin.
If you notice red pimples on your child's face, tummy and other parts of the body, try to understand why this could be happening. If there are no obvious reasons, be sure to seek medical help at the hospital. After all, treatment will most directly depend on what kind of rash covers your baby’s body.
Red pimples that appear in a child on the face (most often on the cheeks and around the mouth) and on the body (on the arms and legs, on the butt, on the back, on the stomach) may look different. For some, they may present as localized lesions that resolve within a few days. In others, they can cover most of the body and over time only grow and become even more inflamed. These may be rashes such as:
- small pale red pimples on the chin, gradually turning into one continuous inflamed spot - this is due to excessive salivation during teething;
- red, watery pimples on a child’s body can be a symptom of chickenpox: at first, single tumors become more and more numerous;
- pimples on the butt - from diaper rash due to a diaper;
- if a black dot can be seen in the center of the water pimples, molluscum contagiosum will most likely be diagnosed;
- pimples mainly spread exclusively to the arms (palms) and legs (feet) of the baby and appear in the off-season (spring and autumn) - we are talking about dyshidrosis;
- a pink-red spot, which after a few hours turns into watery pimples, is a sign of streptoderma;
- small red pimples on a child’s body are heat rash due to lack of fresh air for the skin.
To avoid complications, the diagnosis must be carried out by a doctor, even if at first it seems to you that the red pimples on your child’s body are about to go away on their own. And even more so, you should not self-medicate, which will only worsen the situation. Qualified medical care is what your baby needs in this situation.
How to treat
The main treatment for rashes on a child’s body is to treat the underlying disease that caused them. In parallel with this, external medications are prescribed in order to somehow alleviate the itching, burning sensation and prevent the formation of ulcers in the future. Drug treatment involves prescribing the following drugs.
- Bepanten cream and powder if the cause of pimples is diaper rash.
- Bathing in a weak solution of potassium permanganate. The doctor may instead recommend adding decoctions of anti-inflammatory medicinal herbs to the bath - chamomile, string, calendula, oak bark, etc.
- If pimples are caused by an allergy to some food product, a special diet will be prescribed for the mother if the baby is breastfed, or for the baby himself if he is “artificial.”
- Washing and wiping pimples on the child’s body with a solution of furatsilin.
- Antihistamines.
- If we are talking about scarlet fever, antibiotics may be prescribed.
- Zelenka and antipyretics are prescribed for chickenpox.
- In order for the skin to recover faster after pimples, vitamin therapy is carried out.
- If the situation is too serious, doctors may decide to hospitalize the baby.
If everything is done in a timely manner, competently, in accordance with the recommendations of doctors, you can speed up the baby’s recovery without any side effects or complications. Parents should always remember that the baby’s skin is an indicator of his health, so any pimples on it should be treated immediately, finding out their cause and eliminating it.
There are a number of conclusions about the dangers of washing cosmetics. Unfortunately, not all new mothers listen to them. 97% of shampoos use the dangerous substance Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) or its analogues. Many articles have been written about the effects of this chemistry on the health of both children and adults. At the request of our readers, we tested the most popular brands.
The results were disappointing - the most advertised companies showed the presence of those very dangerous components in their composition. In order not to violate the legal rights of manufacturers, we cannot name specific brands. The Mulsan Cosmetics company, the only one that passed all the tests, successfully received 10 points out of 10 (check out). Each product is made from natural ingredients, completely safe and hypoallergenic.
If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date; it should not exceed 10 months. Be careful when choosing cosmetics, this is important for you and your child.
