Dealing With Your Child’s Skin Rash

There are several types of rashes that children may deal with. As a parent, it’s important to identify when your child is dealing with a rash so that complications don’t arise and your child can feel better in no time. Common types of skin rashes include:

• Diaper rash
• Eczema
• Heat rash
• Hives
• Chickenpox
• Ringworm
• Impetigo

Symptoms are different for each skin rash, but it’s important to look for redness, tenderness, and, in some cases, discharge. Typically, rashes can be dealt with at home, but in some cases, you may need to consult your dermatologist.

Your dermatologist serving Longwood, Mount Dora, Orlando, and Winter Park, FL, can explain the types of skin rash treatment your child may need. Your doctor may prescribe different medications to help treat the root cause of your child’s skin rash and, in some cases, may recommend making lifestyle changes to help prevent rashes in the future. You may also need lotion to help your child avoid itching rashes and maintain proper hygiene.
