Several conditions can cause skin rashes on various parts of your child’s body. Common examples include:
Some children are more prone to skin rashes than others. While many types of rashes can resolve on their own, others are more severe and require treatment. You can talk with your child’s pediatrician at American Pediatrics to explore your child’s treatment options.
To find out the cause of your child’s skin rash, the team reviews their symptoms and medical history. Then, they complete a physical exam and look at your child’s rash. They might also evaluate your child’s eyes, ears, and throat.
Their pediatrician may recommend your child undergo allergy testing, throat or nasal swabs, or blood or urine tests to determine the root cause of your child’s symptoms and develop an effective care plan.
The treatment your child may require for skin rashes, if any, depends on the type, underlying cause, and the severity of their rash. The team at American Pediatrics might recommend the following:
Your pediatrician personalizes each skin rash treatment based on your child’s health history and lifestyle. They might also recommend more than one treatment or adjust your child’s care plan as necessary to give them the best symptom relief and prevent future rash occurrences.
The practice takes a holistic approach to care, ensuring that they not only address your child’s rash symptoms but their overall health and well-being.
