skin conditions are caused by their sensitive skin, and skin disorders vary greatly in symptoms and severity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of these disorders are minor, but others can indicate a more serious problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in this article, we will learn about many of these diseases, and how to prevent them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dermatologists at the Freshness Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser in Hurghada recommend that you protect your child&#039;s skin by following some instructions and tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;What are children&#039;s skin diseases?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Children&#039;s skin conditions occur from birth through adolescence, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Diaper dermatitis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Atopic dermatitis (eczema).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>warts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ringworm;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fifth disease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smallpox.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>herpes;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coxsackie disease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scarlet fever.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sixth disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is diaper dermatitis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as rash, it is not a disease, but it is a category of skin diseases that affect the diaper area, and there are 4 types of them, including the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Irritant contact dermatitis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>increased growth of fungi;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allergic contact dermatitis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>seborrheic dermatitis;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;First: irritant contact dermatitis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;It is associated with skin exposure to either urine, feces, or both, the most common type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of infection appears as red, sometimes swollen, or even pimple-like patches in the diaper area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This prolonged inflammation can increase the risk of infection in the affected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basic treatment and prevention includes frequent diaper changes, to prevent contact with moisturizing creams that contain zinc oxide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A mild topical steroid cream also reduces inflammation more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also read :<a href=\"https:\/\/nadaraclinic.com\/en\/skin-cancer-and-detecting-methods-of-it-2\/\"> Skin cancer and methods of detection.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Second, the growth of fungi<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A wet diaper environment causes an overgrowth of fungi, often with Candida albicans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This condition progresses to red bumps and spots, and sometimes pus bumps on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This condition can be treated with a topical antifungal cream such as clotrimazole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Third: Allergic contact dermatitis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms include redness and swelling accompanied by itching that keeps recurring in the same area, but this condition rarely occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is related to one of the components of the diaper itself, such as: the adhesive, the perfume, or the preservatives in the baby wipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fourth: seborrheic dermatitis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is known as cradle cap in infants, and dandruff in older children and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This condition can also affect other areas of the body such as the face and neck, as well as skin folds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydrocortisone 1 to 2.5 % is used to treat the affected areas only twice daily for no more than two weeks each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is atopic dermatitis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This inflammation is called eczema, and it is a children&#039;s skin disease that often occurs in childhood, and may continue to the age of two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is considered a chronic condition, meaning that it can only be treated by referring to a specialized dermatologist, as at the Freshness Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics in Hurghada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This condition is more common in families with a history of seasonal allergies and asthma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can get worse when skin comes into contact with irritants such as saliva, and friction, especially when a baby starts to crawl, also contributes to its appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The appearance of dry patches on the skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A rash on the cheeks often begins at 2 to 6 months of age.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms can worsen when the child scratches the site of the injury, and the openings in the skin become infected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skin care using appropriate soaps and moisturizing creams is the best solution for treatment, as it contains ceramides that reduce itching and inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are warts?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of pediatric skin disease is caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV), and is common at all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warts (pimples) appear as hard bumps on the fingers, hands and feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It usually spreads through direct contact, and there are no antiviral treatments that target the virus itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it can be treated with medicines containing salicylic acid, which soften normal skin cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A higher percentage of acid (20 to 40 %) is most effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment depends on the child&#039;s age, the number and location of the warts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment options offered by a dermatologist at Nadhara Beauty and Laser Center in Hurghada include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&nbsp;Oral cimetidine to boost the immune system (2 to 3 months).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Scrape the blisters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The use of some chemicals such as trichloroacetic acid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatments need to be repeated every 3 to 4 weeks until they are completely gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also read : <a

infection with a type of fungus known as<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/skin-problems-and-treatments\/understanding-impetigo-basics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Ringworm<\/a> that live on dead skin, hair, and nail tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It begins as a red, scaly patch or bump that spreads by contact with the skin of an infected person or animal. It can also be infected by sharing objects such as towels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treat with antifungal creams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fifth disease<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It usually begins within two weeks, as a result of infection with parvovirus B19, with flu-like symptoms, followed by a rash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is spread by coughing and sneezing, and is most contagious in the week before the rash appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treat with rest and pain relievers prescribed by the doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chickenpox<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is known as a common children&#039;s skin disease since ancient times, but it disappeared thanks to the chicken pox vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The disease is highly contagious, spreads easily, and leaves itchy, blisters all over the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>shingles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It appears as a result of infection with some types of bacteria (streptococcus) that cause sores or pustules, especially around the mouth and nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The crust that forms can crack and mature into a yellow-brown crust, and scratching causes it to spread to other parts of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (Coxsackie)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This disease begins with a fever, followed by painful sores in the mouth, and then the appearance of an itchy rash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rash appears on the hands, feet, and sometimes the buttocks and legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is spread by coughing, sneezing, and diaper use, so it is not dangerous and goes away on its own within about a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>scarlet fever<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a sore throat accompanied by a rash, and symptoms include sore throat, and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/fever\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20352759#:~:text=A%20fever%20is%20a%20temporary,(39.4%20C)%20or%20higher.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fever,<\/a> Abdominal pain, and swollen glands in the neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rash begins to appear after 1-2 days and goes away after about 7-14 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scarlet fever is very contagious, so wash your hands well to prevent spreading it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sixth disease (Rosula)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The sixth disease of the skin of children at the age of 6 months to 2 years, so it is given this name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It begins with cold symptoms, followed by a high temperature, followed by a rash of small, pinkish bumps that may be flat or slightly raised from the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These bumps appear first on the chest and back, then the hands and feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Finally, do not hesitate, my dear, to consult a dermatologist who specializes in treating children\u2019s skin diseases at the Freshness Center for Dermatology, Cosmetics and Laser.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your child may have a
