Most often on the body of crumbs there is a zone of uniform reddening. As a rule, the rash itches and does not give the baby peace. A distinctive feature of rashes of an allergic nature is the symmetry of skin lesions. For example, redness of both handles on the same height / width section. A rash in the form of blisters, as if a child had stung nettle, and is called: urticaria. It occurs almost immediately after the ingestion of an allergen.

It takes a day or two - and the bubbles dry up, forming a crust. New elements appear chaotically, so when examining the skin of a sick child, you can see a rash at different stages of development: both specks, and bubbles, and crusts. With rubella, the rash is expressed by pink spots of small size. The first "sprinkles" the face and neck, but within a few hours the rashes spread all over the body. The favorite places of the "rubella" rash are the extensor surfaces of the handles and legs, back and buttocks. After a day or two, the rash turns pale and passes, leaving a slight pigmentation. For measles is characteristic merging melkopyatistaya rash. Its distinctive feature is the gradual appearance. On the first day there are rashes on the face, in the second - on the upper half of the trunk and arms, and on the third - on the legs.

Most often the skin is affected on the neck, back, shoulders, and also in natural folds. As a rule, the physical condition of the baby is normal, although the rash may cause itching. The reason for the appearance of sweating is that sweat and sebaceous glands of the skin in early childhood can not fully participate in the allocation of sweat. The ducts of some glands are clogged, which leads to the appearance of a rash. Intermittence is the defeat of the skin of an inflammatory nature in response to contact of the baby's skin with urine and feces. Places, most often prone to the formation of diaper rash, are creases on the neck and tummy, as well as axillary and inguinal areas. It is not so terrible herself as a sweating or diaper rash, as her complications. Any defect in the skin is a potential "gateway" for infection. Because of the features, when undressing the baby, did you notice the appearance of the rash? Do not panic and do not grab for the green! Remember, on what parts of the skin the first elements appeared. Remember what the kid ate and drank the day before, with what new hygienic means did you process his skin. Measure the crumbs of the temperature. If the nature of the rashes is alarming, call a doctor! Fatigue and sweating after a number of hygienic procedures and normalizing the temperature regime pass fairly quickly. If the manifestations persist, consult a pediatrician or dermatologist.
