infants under one year. Skin disease

The skin of a newborn is very sensitive (even to mild irritants) and can easily be affected by inflammations or eruptions as a result of exposure to heat, prolonged contact with urine or faeces or chafing by a rough fabric. In case with such minor disturbances there is usually no need for panic though of course the cause should be removed. Eruptions and other skin disturbances that appear without any apparent cause and persist for several days should be shown to a doctor especially in case the baby appears to be sick. infants under one year.

Vascular nevi (hemangioma)	Bulging masses scarlet in color are the most often to appear. They could found on every part of the body. Some have tendency to grow during the first months of baby’s life but after the sixth month will begin to shrink. Masses like that disappear completely at the age of 7 with 80% probability. Surgical removal is only needed when the hemangioma is located close to the eye and interferes with view. If the venous lakes and (especially) pigment spots are growing or damaged on a regular basis they need to be removed no matter where they are located on a body.
port-wine stain or naevus flammeus	They appear as slightly bulging purple-reddish areas of skin and found more often on the face and limbs. These birth-marks typically do not change in the course of time. If you think that they look bad you can try concealing them with cosmetic or consider removing them with the aid of laser and plastic surgery (as an adult).

CARE OF BABIES SKIN	The soft skin of a baby needs protection against extreme heat or cold, including in particular direct sunlight, or the baby can get a skin inflammation or it could become dry and unhealthy. To prevent the development of skin diseases and diaper rushes it’s very important to wash the baby regularly and thoroughly. Washing and bathing Baby’s skin should always be clean. The best way of course is to bath the baby every day. If you, however, clean baby’s bottom carefully every time you change the diapers (see Changing diapers) and remove drops of milk (and other food remnants and so forth) then your baby don’t need a full bath every day. It’s very important to remember a couple of things when you’re giving your baby a bath: Make sure the water isn’t too hot. Check it using your elbow. Never leave the baby alone in the bathroom. Not even if it’s able to maintain sitting position completely by itself. Use unscented soap or baby shampoo. If your baby has dry skin or eczema you should use emulsified cream and wash it up with clean water. When the baby starts to grow hair you should wash it once in a week with a weak solution of shampoo. Dry the baby up with its own towel and make sure you remove all the moisture from the skinfolds.. If you’re using talcum powder, don’t use too much of it. Diapers You can use either disposable diapers or diapers made of cloth. If you’re using the latter make sure you wash them clean and don’t forget to sterilize* them and to pad it with a soft piece of cloth (e.g gauze) which can easily absorb a lot of water. Disposable diapers are always clean and it’s easier to use them but they can’t absorb as much water as the more traditional diapers. After cleaning the diapers it’s enough to do ironing on both sides with a hot iron press. Changing the diapers Every time you change the diapers remove the remnants of urine and faeces from the skin of the baby with a damp piece of cotton. In case the baby has dry skin moist the cotton piece with a vegetable oil or emulsified cream. Before swaddling, smear the baby’s buttocks and skin folds with vegetable oil, Vaseline or zinc cream. If possible, keep the baby naked for some time at least once a week. Airbaths prevent the development of diaper rushes. If the latter appear the baby should be kept naked on a towel or a diaper in a relatively warm room for a longer time. It will help skin to become healthy again. Make sure you change the diapers on a regular basis, especially if they’ve been soiled. If the diaper rushes won’t disappear in 10 days consult with the doctor. Baby’s buttocks should be cleaned with a piece of cotton damped with water or baby lotion.

If the scabs look too bad for you taste you can remove them by putting some vaseline or vegetable oil on the baby’s head and then carefully washing it away with water. If the eczema continue to spread you should consult with the doctor who will give you a prescription for a special cream.
You don’t need to consult with the doctor about small skin disturbances that don’t seem to bother the baby. Don’t use soap or shampoo, not even one made especially for babies. To moist and clean the baby’s skin use emulsified cream you can buy in a drugstore. If the damaged area begins to grow or becomes damp you should consult with the doctor. The doctor will give you a cream that contains corticosteroids and antibiotics which you should use in strict accordance with the prescription. You can also be given prescriptions for medicines that diminish skin itch or recommended to exclude some food articles which could worsen the disease from your baby’s diet.
If the disease is mild there is no special treatment needed but careful washing and drying up of the damaged skin areas (See Caring for baby skin). You should avoid using soap, baby lotions or shampoos. To clean and moisture the skin use special emulsified cream you can find in a drug-store. If the damaged area is big and it’s bothering baby or if the skin begin to crack and become moist you should consult with the doctor.
Change the diapers every time the baby soils them. Wash all the remnants of urine and faeces and put some protective cream on the skin (see Caring for baby skin). If the diapers rushes won’t disappear in 10 days you should consult with the doctor. If the baby has frequent and watery diarrhea the reason could be an intestinal infection.
Make sure you change the diapers and often as possible and every time you do that you clean the baby’s skin carefully. If possible, use disposable diapers because they’re 100% clean when you put them on. If you use more traditional diapers do not put waterproof panties over them if it’s not absolutely necessary. Keep the baby naked as often as possible so the skin can dry up and heal faster. Before swaddling, put some protective cream on the damaged skin areas. If that won’t help to remove the diaper rushes in 10 days or if the skin’s state worsened it’s possible that it’s infected with some kind of mycetology e.g. milk thrush; the agents of diseases like that is often found in intestinal tract. In this case you should consult with the doctor and he will give you prescription for the special cream and all the medicines you need.
