What are baby skin diseases?

Skin problems are very common in babies and most are temporary. Here are the most common ones:
Newborn acne: Small red or yellow pimples on cheeks, forehead, and chin in the first weeks. Related to milk hormones; it just needs to stay clean and goes away on its own within weeks.
Seborrheic dermatitis (cradle cap): Yellow, oily scaling on the scalp, eyebrows, and behind ears. Moisturizing, gentle brushing, and washing with baby shampoo is enough.
Diaper rash: Redness in the diaper area. Frequent diaper changes, air exposure, and protective cream prevent and treat it.
Eczema: Dry, red, itchy, sometimes slightly oozing patches — usually on cheeks, outer arms and legs. Regular moisturizing is the foundation of care.
Atopic dermatitis (a type of eczema) is more common if there's a family history of allergies. Mild fever, rash, swelling after vaccinations is also normal and goes away within a couple days.
Rarely, more serious conditions occur: widespread blistering, bumpy rash with discharge (impetigo), skin bruising-like spots (petechiae), and fungal infections. These need pediatrician evaluation.
