There are many different things that can cause a rash in babies and children but, thankfully, the vast majority are nothing to worry about. However, as a parent, you will know whether your child seems seriously unwell whilst having a rash, and this is usually a sign that treatment is required as soon as possible.
Some of the most common reasons for a childhood rash include:
- Slapped Cheek Syndrome
- Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease
- Scarlet Fever
- Measles
- Heat Rash
- Atopic Eczema
- Hives
- Ringworm
- Chickenpox
- Nappy Rash
