Child Skin Rashes- Common Summer Skin Rashes in kids
Summer Skin Rashes

Every year around this time my son tends to get some kind of rash. Whether they
get heat rash or worse, being outdoors along with the heat and humidity makes
children more prone to skin irritations.
Here are some tips on decoding some of theses rashes.

INSECT BITES- You’re child has one or more itchy, raised bumps. Over the counter
Anti itching products can usually relieve this. Call the doctor if severe pain, crusting
or pus develops. These can be a sign of an allergic reaction or infection

ALLERGIC CONTACT DERMATITIS- Your child may have lines or streaks of itchy
red bumps and blisters. This is caused by poison ivy, oak, or sumac. You can wash
infected area with warm water and apply hydro cortisone lotion. For severe itching, a
prescription may be needed.

IMPETIGO-Your Child has raised red lesions with crust or blisters. The cause of this
varies but can come from contagious Staph or Strep Bacteria, common at summer
camps. This is cured by an antibiotic.
