Since that happy day when a child appeared in the family, the lifestyle of all its members has changed dramatically and radically. Now all actions are aimed at making the baby comfortable in this new world for him. However, even with the best care, very often there is such a problem as pimples on the face of an infant. The reason for this is not always clear.
In the womb, the baby’s skin is constantly in contact with water, and the changes that have come about lead to changes in the functioning of the sebaceous and sweat glands. As a result, pimples appear on the face of the baby. The causes and types of pimples can be different. In case you notice them in the first 3-4 days of the baby’s life, then this is a mile.
The reason for their occurrence is a blockage of the sebaceous ducts, which is due to the fact that the functioning of the glands has already begun, and the output has not yet formed, the result is white pimples on the face of the baby, which do not have inflammatory signs. In most cases, they appear on the face of the child. They do not cause him any inconvenience, since they are not accompanied by itching.
In this case, no treatment is required, except for daily skin care of the child's face. Miles will pass by themselves as soon as the reason for their appearance disappears: the sebaceous ducts will be fully formed. To help the baby get rid of them is not possible. Pimples on the face of an infant can have an inflammatory character. This is acne, or, as they are also called, acne.
Most often they can be seen on the face, but their appearance on any other part of the body is not excluded. They are whitish pimples surrounded by an inflammatory nimbus, and can occur at the base of the hair follicle or
sebaceous gland. Their prerequisites are hormonal bursts occurring in the baby's body.
In this case, the skin requires more thorough care. When swimming, you can add an infusion of a string or chamomile. It is necessary to consult a doctor if the spread of pimples on the skin is rapid. If acne and milia do not appear in all babies, then with prickly heat, the situation is completely different.
It is a consequence of increased sweating and overheating. If many red pimples appear in the folds against the background of the baby's red skin, then this is prickly heat. In order for them to pass, you must follow all the rules of skin care. This place is treated with powder in order to quickly save the baby from such a problem.
An allergic rash in children appears due to an unfavorable ecology, the presence of dyes, preservatives in the mother’s diet, in many it is also possible when eating a large amount of sweet food. Usually these pimples are small and spread along the back and tummy of the baby. The baby is worried about severe itching.
After the examination, the doctor prescribes a certain treatment. In the event that there is an allergy on the face of a child who is breast-feeding, the mother needs to review her diet and exclude sweets and foods that can cause allergies. If the baby care is organized according to all accepted rules, then the above problems can be avoided.
