Common baby skin conditions

Your guide to common paediatric skin conditions and how to remedy them.

Allergic skin reactions

Children often display symptoms of sensitivity to substances, allergies and intolerances, and skin rashes or other outbreaks like pimples are a frequent manifestation of this. There are many possible triggers, and if there’s a history of these in the family, or conditions like asthma, hay fever, sinusitis and eczema, little ones are inherently more at risk. Allergy symptoms may be cumulative and may not display immediately, sometimes making it difficult to know what allergy it is. Asking ‘What changed at the time the symptoms started?’ often points to the origin.
