As a parent, it can be difficult to identify even the most common baby rashes and spots. What’s the difference, and how can you spot them?
Expert information provided by Dr Tim Ubhi, consultant paediatrician for the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child HealthNine out of 10 children in the UK will catch chickenpox, most of them before the age of four, according to research.
“Look out for clusters of red spots, which turn into small, fluid-filled, itchy blisters that break and then scab over.” The spots develop in the mouth and on the cheeks whilst the rash typically starts behind the ears and then spreads to the body. You should see your GP immediately if you suspect your child has measles.“Eczema can often be identified by a dry, red patch of skin that may be broken or cracked,” says Sarah.
“There will be other symptoms to look out for including high fever, cold hands and feet and a pale, dusky or blue colouring around the lips. Other symptoms include a tense or bulging soft spot on babies’ skulls, poor feeding, drowsiness or irritability, and a high-pitched cry.
