SEE A PEDIATRICIAN! thast's first of all, also you may want to start keeping a journal of everything worn, eaten and done by him. Include what you washed the clothes in, how the food was prepared, where he goes, anything you can think of....Record also when he gets the hives, then show it to your pediatrician, and this will help them figure out what's wrong faster, b/c each time a reaction occurs it gets worse.

Assuming your daughter is an infant...  I'd visit the doc.  My first guess would be a yeast infection (yes, babies get 'em too).  Washing with soaps will probably just make it worse (just like douches and stuff CAUSE yeast infections in women, deodorants and soaps can cause probs in babies too).  The doc can give you a cream to use to make it better.  Frequent diaper changes and keeping clean (with water or baby wipes) is the best way to keep it at bay... but some babies just seem to get a lot of them anyways.  They generally stop once they're out of diapers.

rub a glass over the top of it too make sure it dissappears. if not take her to hospital. if it does dissappear its probably an allergic reaction.  my daughter had similar thing recently and as precaution i took her to doctor who prescribed an antihistamine. u need to find out if its an allergy so u can start to find out what shes allergic too, we were warned that next time it might not be just a rash that she gets. hope shes ok

Blister like lesions may be caused by localized contact dermatitis, or perhaps shingles (herpes zoster).  There have been reported cases of shingles in infancy as the child was exposed to the varicella virus (chicken pox) in very early infancy or perhaps even in utero.  The reactivated virus grows along one dermatome or nerve distribution and produces a characteristic vesicular or blister like rash on a reddened base, which follows a specific nerve dermatome and is always on one side of the body, almost never crossing midline.

It depends on your diet.  If you take iron it will be dark dark brown.  If you drink a lot of carrot juice it will be orange.  Average diet will make it medium to light brown. \n\nMany infants have green... which may be because they drink a lot of milk (this one I am not sure about.)\n\nIf you are worried, then call a doctor.  Hope I have helped.

There's a big difference in 30 to 35 weekers. I think the 30 weekers would be really small, maybe their skin is a bit more red, maybe translucent a bit. Pretty small, too. I can't remember exactly what weeks age everyone is but I work in an office with premie docs and those babies are really tiny.

yes, they can.  babies even get dandruff called cradle cap.  dandruff is excessive shedding of the skin.

Many children are born with JAUNDICE.  When the baby was in the womb, the mother's liver took care of the excess pigment (called bilirubin) in the blood that causes jaundice. It takes a while for the baby's liver to be able to process and eliminate it. \n\nMild cases can be treated by exposing baby briefly to sunlight and making sure baby is getting plenty of fluids (breastmilk is best).  More severe cases can be treated by your pediatrician using special light therapy.

That's Keratosis pilaris, a skin condition commonly seen on the upper arms, buttocks and thighs. The skin cells that normally flake off as a fine dust from the skin form plugs in the hair follicles. These appear as small pimples that have a dry ''sandpaper'' feeling. They are usually white but sometimes rather red. They usually don't itch or hurt.

Yep it's called Jaundice and that usually happens if there is some dysfunction in the liver.  PLEASE see your doctor ASAP so they can figure out what's causing it.  If it's a newborn infant that's very treatable and common.  If you are talking about an adult, it is very serious and needs to be addressed TODAY!

Eczema is caused by dry, irritated skin.\nWell nourished and moisturised skin cells are blocked together tightly, visualise it as a brick wall with each individual brick being a skin cell. When the skin is dry, the skin cells become flacid and lose it's moisture, or as you see it as a wall, the bricks begin to break and holes & gaps are formed allowing bacteria and dirt to enter resulting in the skin being irritated and red.\nHighly moisturising creams can assist the skin cells in forming a tight wall again developing a barrier against germs & infectants.\nSwap normal soap for your baby with QV Moisturising Wash, Ego Moisturising washes can also help and a Pinetarsol Bath and wash down can relieve your child of itchiness & discomfort.\nEnsure when bathing your baby that the water is not too hot, hot water can wash away the body's natural oil (Ever seen how easily hot water can wash away oil on a cooking pan?) resulting in dry, flaky skin. A lukewarm bath should be best.\nAlways moisturise, moisturise, moisturise to keep your baby's skin well nourished & healthy and always wash your hands before moisturising your child.\nIf your childs excema persists, see your local doctor for some cream. Cortisone creams & Topical Ointments work very well & you will see the eczema/skin condition gone after a day or two.

Babies skulls are made up multiple bones that fuse as they get older.  This is why babies heads have "soft spots"

i did have the same rash when i was pregnant about 17 yrs ago - came also a few weeks before delivery, however mine was on my stomach & my ankles - it was so itchy, especially at nite.  my dcotors told me to hang in there that it would disappear almost immediately upon delivery of my baby, which it did.  they also reassured me that it was not harmful to the baby or me - just another annoying side affect of being pregnant!

baby may be constipated,and the straining can cause a small tear,but you really need to see the doctor to rule out any other cause.

It's called thrush.  Sometimes babies get it, and it's a white film or crust inside the mouth.  It's treated with an oral rinse of nystatin.  Anyone can get it, though (not just babies).
