Cool the skin
You can cool the skin by removing extra layers of clothing or by moving to a cooled indoor space. If your baby’s been outside in heat and humidity, remove damp clothing and turn on a fan to dry their skin.
Apply water
For small rash patches. If the affected area is relatively small - just a patch on the back of the neck or in the creases of the elbows - gently dab a cool, wet cloth on the rash to relieve tenderness and bring down the skin temperature.
For larger rash areas. You can also give your baby a cool bath for at least 10 minutes, but don’t use soap - it could further irritate the skin. Afterward, let their skin air dry. Supervise your baby at all times during the bath.
Try a steroid cream
It’s important to keep kids from scratching if the rash is itchy. Broken blisters can lead to skin infection. #skincare#childhealth
