Skin conditions in children can be a challenge for both children and parents.
You look at how your child scratches, squint and poking in an area that bleeds. It is red and inflamed. You can almost ‘feel’ the inconvenience.
How does the child of your school -going age go to all those other children, while dealing with red spots and inflammations? You have tried tons of products and do the -self -excitations, but nothing seems to offer permanent lighting.
There is usually no quick solution for eczema in children, results, psoriasis and other conditions, and some products can make these circumstances worse.
The skin of children is still developing and is much more sensitive than adult skin. It is usually more delicate and susceptible to irritation, environmental damage and irritating substances, which increases the vulnerability to certain skin conditions.
That is why it is important to choose safe, effective products that really benefit your child, with formulas that offer extra benefits, such as soothing inflammation, hydrating of the skin and strengthening the skin barrier without disturbing the natural balance of the skin .
In the article below we will investigate some of the most common disorders that children affect, why standard products often do not do much and discuss some solutions that can make a difference.
What are some of the most common skin conditions in children?
Eczema (atopic dermatitis)
Eczema is a chronic skin condition that affects about ten percent of children and adolescents, according to the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The exact cause is unknown, but dermatologists believe that it is a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms are dry, itchy, inflamed skin, often in stains on the face, elbows and knees.
RESCUE & RELIEF SPRAY Helps to relieve itching, irritation and redness immediately, while it offers a calming and cooling effect for immediate comfort.
Calming moisture for face, neck and scalp Helps in managing and preventing flare-ups with moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and calming ingredients such as plant ceramides. Oat-based ingredients help redness redness, irritation, itching and rash associated with eczema and other sensitive skin conditions.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a car -immune disease that causes itchy, dry spots on the skin. These patches can appear anywhere on the body, from the scalp to behind the ears and on the palms. The result can be very annoying and frustrating and can influence the mood of a child or teenager, making them sad, depressed or irritable.
Restorative skin is an ointment that helps to heal and regenerate the skin while catching moisture to illuminate flaky, itchy dry spots on the skin.
Contact dermatitis
Contact dermatitis occurs when the skin comes into contact with an annoying substance. Common perpetrators are hard cleaning agents and detergents, soap and certain substances. Symptoms are redness, itching and swelling.
Cradle Cap (Seborrheic Dermatitis)
Found with infants, cribop causes flaky, greasy spots on the scalp. Most babies experience no discomfort or itching. In some cases, if the patches get inflamed or become infected, they can cause mild irritation. The condition is harmless and usually dissolves automatically.
Calming moisture for face, neck and scalp Calms immediately irritation with ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Beta Glucan and Oat Extract.
Restorative skin Can help with the treatment of super dry skin and small wounds such as crib cap, while protecting the moisture barrier and encourage a faster recovery of healthy skin.
All kinds of rash such as diaper rash, heat destruction (environmental) and hives
Heat rash (milaria)
Just like a normal rash, a heating rate occurs when the sweat glands are blocked. Small red bumps appear that itches and cause irritation. This is more likely in warm and humid conditions and when the child wears restrictive clothing or synthetic substances that do not breathe.
Rash
This is a form of dermatitis. It is often caused by wet diapers that rub the skin and lead to chafing and sensitivity.
Cabinets (Urticaria)
These are essentially red rash. Red, raised welding suddenly appear on the skin, usually in response to an allergic reaction. They can be activated by insect bites, foods, medicines or even stress.
Apply a barrier -ointment Restorative skin Helps create a protective layer on the skin and protect it against moisture and irritating substances. Wound healing ingredients help the skin to recover quickly.
Stimulus
Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection caused by Staphylococcus or Streptococcus bacteria. It causes red ulcers that shake and honey -colored crusts. It is very contagious but to be treated with antibiotics.
Ringworm (Tinea Corporis)
This fungal infection causes circular, scaly stains on the skin. It is contagious and quickly spreads among children through direct contact with individuals or polluted objects.
Wart
Warts in children are usually caused by one of the human papillomaviruses, a DNA virus that can cause different warts. They can get children from infected parents or by sharing towels, toys and bathing with infected people. The warts usually appear as meat -colored or hyperpigmented bumps or plaques.
Why some standard freely available skin care products do not work
In their desire to help their children, many parents turn to freely available creams and lotions, just to discover that they do not help or sometimes make them worse.
This is often because these products contain ingredients that can further irritate the skin. Sometimes they contain hormone -changing ingredients or create other negative effects on the health and comfort of the skin.
Search for products such as CV SkinLabs that are made with natural and organic ingredients and avoid potentially harmful ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, phthalates and synthetic scents.
Scents and dyes
These consist of a cocktail of chemicals that can cause skin reactions.
Preservatives (parabens, formaldehyde releasers, etc.)
These help to expand the shelf life of products, but they can also cause irritation and allergic reactions.
Sulfaten (SLS and SLES)
Found in cleaning agents and shampoos, hard detergents can rid the skin of its natural oils, deteriorating circumstances such as eczema and psoriasis.
Ingredients based on petroleum
These can yield temporary moisture, but they can also hide pores and catch bacteria. Over time they can dry out the skin more.
Alcohol (ethanol, isopropyl alcohol)
These ingredients dry out the skin and exacerbate irritations.
Better solutions for skin conditions in children
Try these 10 solutions to reduce irritating symptoms and cure your child’s skin.
Use soft, clean skin care products
Be more picky in your skin care products. Turn the bottle and read the ingredient list. Search for items that are odor -free and are formulated without parabens, formaldehyde, phthalates or products based on petroleum. Choose it made for sensitive skin and with natural and organic ingredients.

Ingredients such as plant ceramides, beta -glucan, oats extract, chamomile, turmeric and more contain properties that can help to calm down the skin and reduce redness, irritation and inflammation while the skin is restored.
Avoid hard soap and detergents
Choose softer, odor -free cleaning agents and detergents to prevent further irritation. Don’t let your child use soap. Instead, install creamy cleaning agents in all your washbasins and use the moisturizing body wash covers in the bath and shower. Choose soft shampoos that avoid sulfates and search for detergents made without extra chemicals.
Regularly hydrate
This is extremely important in children with skin conditions, but it does require daily care. You and your child must set up a routine where you hydrate at least twice a day – more often if necessary. Choose a clean, safe moisturizing cream for the face and body and apply it regularly.
We recommend calming fluid for the face, neck and scalp and body repair lotion for the body. Always apply a moisturizing cream after your child has stepped out of the shower or bath. This is when the skin is most open to receiving moisture.
Then, during the day, when your child is hot, turns red or needs a quick Spritz of moisture, then bring our rescue + auxiliary spray. It is easy to use everywhere and offers a cooling, anti -inflammatory action, so that the skin remains hydrated and calmed.
Limit bath time and use lukewarm water
Small children like to play in the bath, but if they have skin conditions, that’s not good for them. The water robs the skin of moisture and leaves it drier than before. Try to limit the time and then always apply moisturizing cream.
Dress them in soft, breathable fabrics
Cotton clothing is usually best for children with sensitive skin, because synthetic substances can cause friction and irritation and catch warmth and sweat next to the skin.
Monitor diet and allergens
Some skin conditions, such as eczema and beehives, can be activated by food allergens. Sources can include dairy, eggs and nuts. Sometimes children are allergic to pollen, pets or fabric skin flakes. Save a diary to identify potential triggers and talk to your allergy doctor about solutions.
Use humidifiers in dry climates
If you live in a dry climate, you install an air reduction in your child’s room to use at night. This helps to moisten the air and can prevent the skin of your child from drying out at night.
Try good natural remedies
Some natural remedies can help, such as oatmeal and Epsom -salts, aloe vera treatment and moisturizing masks.
Encourage your child to prevent scratching
Scratches can make the skin conditions worse and can lead to infections. Put your child’s nails regularly and then encourage them to come to you when they feel the urge to scratch so that you can apply something to relieve the itch. Our Rescue + Relief Spray is a great option!
Consultation with a dermatologist
If your child’s skin condition persists or gets worse, searching for medical advice can help.
