Rashes are very common in children and babies. Most rashes are caused by common viral infections, and are nothing to be worried about. Usually, rashes are harmless and will go away on their own.
Sometimes different viruses can cause rashes that look the same, while some viruses cause rashes that look quite unique.
Eczema could be treated by right medication and treatment and could be avoided for future repercussions. Treatment of Eczema is focused on preventing or easing itching that can lead to infection.
Some patients could heal their Eczema without any special treatment, but for some patients who have persistent eczema, dermatologists can help in curing them. Our Doctors at Stratum Clinic usually suggests a treatment based on the symptoms, patients health issues and their age.
Often the viral infection causing the rash will also cause your child to have a fever. The fever often happens at the start of the illness, before the rash appears. However, if your child has a fever with their rash, take them to see a dermatologist.
Although all rashes may look alike to you, your doctor or a dermatologist, a skin doctor, knows the difference. And knowing which kind of rash you child have can help the dermatologist choose the best treatment to heal the rash.
