Safe Baby Eczema Treatment for all Common Rashes

Common rashes and infant eczema are on the rise!

Whether you are witnessing a developing cheek rash or deal with chronic diaper rash it is important to effectively treat the area.

If left unchecked, minor baby skin rashes can become infected or increase in size, severity and frequency.

A young child's skin can be very sensitive and reactive.

Certain contact triggers such as harsh detergents in laundry soap or even brushing up against a wool sweater can create a skin irritation.

Many substances have been found to enter the body through the skin.

Baby skin rashes leave children more vulnerable to the absorption of skin care ingredients - both good and bad.

Lotions, cleansers and creams can carry potentially harmful ingredients. These may exacerbate or lead to more skin inflammations.

The most common ingredient we avoid is sodium lauryl sulfate . This chemical can lead to the breakdown of the skin's natural protective barrier.

This and similar ingredients are found in numerous skin and bath products. Be on look out for them.

If possible, most common rashes are best healed with the most natural and organic products.

Look for products free of synthetic ingredients like my favorite, Angel Baby Bottom Balm by Earth Mama Angel Baby LLC.. This doubles as an excellent baby eczema treatment!

It contains natural ingredients that nourish skin and promote healing. We use it all the time. It is effective and safe for use on all other common rashes, cuts and scrapes.

This rash was discovered behind both ears the day after my son was playing in the woods. He suffers with environmental allergies (hay fever). He was also congested.

We decided to treat him with an antihistamine. We also applied our favorite baby eczema treatment to the rash. Both symptoms disappeared in a few days.

Common rashes include...
• Diaper rash - is very common and treatable with over the counter creams or homemade remedies. Often using mild or homemade baby wipes and letting skin air-dry between diaper changes can significantly help.
• Infant Eczema - is increasing in frequency. Sometimes it is mild and outgrown during the toddler years. Learn more about baby eczema treatment here.
• Environmental or Food Allergy Rash - A persistent cheek rash may be a sign of food allergy. But don't panic yet! Eczema and rashes can occur on the face and scalp without food allergies.


Dark circles, like the ones beginning to form around my son's eyes are sometimes an indication that allergies are involved. Congestion is also an indicator of food or environmental allergies.
• Contact Rash - These common rashes are usually temporary. They can spontaneously appear after skin makes contact with something too irritating. Often these fade quickly and require little or no treatment. Keep your eye on them to make sure it does not spread or keep reoccurring. This could signal an allergy or contact dermatitis.
• Baby Acne - is sometimes confused with baby skin rashes. Baby acne is not a rash and is usually very temporary, needing little to zero treatment.

Many people do very well with the healing properites of shea butter. You can find an organic, unrefined, top of line product at Purely Shea that will work to heal a multitude of skin irritations.

Has baby grows and their immune systems strengthen, the frequency and severity of most common rashes lessens.

In the meantime, take comfort knowing that there are truly natural healing remedies to keep your little one comfortable and healthy.
