Skin Rashes and Allergies in Children

Skin rashes and allergies are common in children, and can be caused by a variety of factors. Rashes can be a sign of an allergic reaction or an infection. Allergies can also cause rashes and other skin conditions. Common skin rashes in children include eczema, hives, and contact dermatitis.

Eczema

Eczema is a chronic condition that causes dry, red, and itchy skin. It can be triggered by stress, irritants, or allergens.

Hives

Hives are raised, itchy bumps that can be caused by an allergic reaction to food, medication, or other substances.

Contact Dermatitis

Contact dermatitis is a rash that occurs when the skin comes into contact with an irritant or allergen, such as poison ivy or certain chemicals.

If your child develops a rash, it is important to identify the cause and seek appropriate treatment. Treatment options may include topical creams, antihistamines, or other medications. To prevent skin rashes and allergies, it is important to:

  • Avoid irritants and allergens
  • Keep the skin moisturized
