Rashes

Many babies develop a skin rash called eczema which may be itchy and irritating. It can be red, blotchy or white bumps mainly on face, neck or anywhere in the body. Pediatricians advise to apply 1% hydrocortisone over the counter ointment every day as a treatment. Some rashes lasts only for a couple of days and vanish suddenly. Rashes are quite usual in babies which will go away on its own. You can try applying moisturizer in the rash area too. If no improvement is seen after the home treatment, take pediatricians advise
