What are some common types of skin rashes in children?

These often range from mild irritations to more serious conditions that require medical attention. It is important for parents to be aware of their child's skin and any changes or abnormalities that may arise.

How do I know if my child has a skin rash?

Children can develop different types of rashes for various reasons, such as allergies or infections. Some signs to look out for include redness, bumps or blisters, itching, and changes in skin texture. If you notice any of these symptoms on your child's skin, it is best to consult a pediatric dermatologist for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
