The first thing we need to understand is what causes eczema and heat rash in babies? What is their difference?
It is very common for babies to have heat rash and eczema, but for many parents, it is difficult to distinguish between the two. Eczema can be said to be one of the most susceptible diseases for babies before the age of six months, it is a kind of immune-related disease, related to the immaturity of the baby's immune system, the younger the baby, the more likely to get eczema. Secondly, there is a direct correlation between the onset of eczema and allergies, such as irritation of chemical fiber clothing, soaking saliva**, etc., which may cause eczema.
Heat rash is simply what we often call prickly heat in our daily life, and its main cause is that the room temperature is too high or infants and young children wear too many covers, resulting in ** not breathable; And this prickly heat does not last long, as long as the temperature drops around it, it will disappear.
Baby heat rash mainly occurs on the neck, armpits, elbow fossa, knees, head and other sweaty parts of infants and young children, and even generalized heat rash may occur.
The eczema will mainly start from the face, the forehead is local, usually a red spot and then it becomes a small spot, scattered little by little until it becomes a pustule, and then the liquid flows out, at this time it will form a layer of scab on the **. In severe cases, it can spread throughout the body**.
Generally, heat rash does not have too obvious itching, while eczema will cause severe itching to the baby, causing infants and young children to scratch with their hands unconsciously.
So when the baby has eczema, how do we take care of it correctly!
1. First of all, we must have a comfortable environment, keep the temperature at home about 24 degrees, keep the air humidity at about 60%, open the windows frequently to breathe, keep the air circulating and wear cotton loose and soft clothes to avoid friction and irritation and aggravation of eczema.

Wipe the baby clean in time to avoid irritation caused by milk residue on the face.
Cleanse morning and night** with a baby-specific moisturizer.
3.Trim your baby's nails in time to prevent them from accidentally scratching themselves!
When the baby has a heat rash, we can judge the baby's heat and cold by touching the back of the baby's neck to see if it is warm and dry, and add or remove clothes for the baby in time, so as to avoid the heat to the baby because the clothes are too thick!
