The child recently got a red pimple and couldn't help scratching? It could be a rash.

Some elders take care of their babies, go out during the day and are afraid of the cold, add cotton-padded jackets to their thermal underwear, and sleep at night for fear of catching cold, so they cover themselves with quilts layer by layer. So children always scratch their necks, stomachs and thighs when they sleep. ...

Many parents thought it was eczema. Indeed, babies are prone to eczema, and it is not good to grow old again and again when they grow up.

However, in this case, it is more likely to get prickly heat in winter!

Why are there prickly heat in winter?

If the sweat pores of the skin are not perspiring smoothly, sweat will accumulate on the local skin and form small protrusions, which are called miliaria.

Therefore, whether it is because the weather is hot in summer or because the room temperature is too high in winter and the baby wears too much, it is possible to get prickly heat as long as it is hot.

How to distinguish eczema from miliaria?

Rash occurs faster than eczema, and it may occur after being covered with high temperature and humidity for more than ten minutes or even an hour or two.

Especially in children with hair follicle dysplasia, subcutaneous sebaceous glands are not easy to discharge after secretion, and it is easier to get prickly heat than adults.

If the baby has prickly heat, it will generally get better as long as the ambient temperature is lowered.

Therefore, if the rash gets better after cooling down, it is usually prickly heat. Eczema will not show signs of improvement if it is not treated by moisturizing and other means.

Do this to prevent winter heat rash.

1, control the indoor temperature

Generally speaking, it is easy to cause prickly heat in a "hot and humid" environment. In winter, parents are mainly careful that the indoor temperature is too high.

Especially in northern families, if the heating is overheated, the baby will sweat too much indoors and the sweat will not be discharged, which may cause a rash.

As long as the temperature can keep the child from sweating, it is a more suitable temperature.

2. Keep warm but don't overdo it.

Although parents are afraid that their baby will catch cold in cold weather, they will add clothes to their baby, but they must master the degree of adding clothes and remember to avoid wearing too much.

How to judge whether you are wearing too much?

Baby had better wear pure cotton underwear, which can absorb sweat in time. Recommended dressing method of onion: replace a thick dress with a few thin clothes, which can be adjusted at any time according to the temperature.

3, the number of baths should not be too much.

Don't rub your baby frequently when taking a bath. The mud we see with the naked eye is actually some horny cells that have not fallen off. These cuticles have protective effects on the skin.

If it is not cleaned, it will lose the protective barrier of the skin and cause the skin to become very dry.

Generally speaking, the number of baths is 2~3 times a week, and each time is controlled within 15 minutes.
