Skin problems in kids

Skin problems in kids

Insect bites and insect bites. Warn your children from scratching - this breaks the skin, making it easier for germs to enter the body and possibly cause infection. Apply an ointment or cream to combat the itching.



Cuts, scratches and scratches. Wash with warm water and mild soap and cover cuts with a bandage to keep them clean. You can also apply an antibiotic cream or ointment. Use with caution and consult your doctor first. Bring your children to the hospital when their cuts are deeper and more severe.

Allergies and rashes. Your children's skin may become irritated or they may develop an allergic reaction after eating certain skin products (such as some soap brands) or certain types of foods. Apply an ointment or have an antihistamine (but first ask your doctor for advice) and remind them not to use the products or to eat the foods that cause their allergic reactions.
Acne. Ask your children not to touch the pimples and wash their faces daily with warm water and soap. They should gently wash their faces and not scrub them hard. You can also use a mild cleanser. Take her to a dermatologist if she develops a severe case of acne.
Burns Run cool (not cold) water over the burned area or press a clean cold compress on the fire for about three to five minutes. Do not use ice, as it may take longer for the fire to heal. Immediately take your children to the hospital to treat severe burns.
Shed. Dandruff can actually be considered a skin problem, not just a hair problem. Have your children use shampoos designed specifically for dandruff or ask your doctor to suggest a medical shampoo.
