Babies have the most sensitive skin more so than any other time in their life. There are many baby skin conditions a baby has that it’s sometimes impossible to tell what it is or what is causing it. There might even be a time when you need to take your baby to a dermatologist to find out what is causing the rash, sores, or even pimples.

The skin of the body is quick to show if a person is allergic to something. It also is the perfect way the body has of ridding itself of toxins that aren’t eliminated through the bowels or urine. If you feed your baby too much greasy food their skin will show the effects with pimples, black heads, or any number of different ways.

Believe it or not, babies can suffer from any number of skin conditions. Some of them will follow them into adulthood. The best you can do is make sure your baby is eating the right and freshest foods, so they don’t get a buildup of toxins that have to come out through the skin. Most babies’ digestive systems aren’t fully developed when they are born. It takes time for their digestive juices to form and for their intestines to work properly. In the meantime, the toxins have to come out of the body. They come out through the skin.

They can be anything from cradle cap to eczema to acne, pimples, and black and white heads. If you’re a nursing mother, your baby’s skin can be affected by what you eat. If you eat too much fried foods, you’ll notice the baby skin conditions changes in a day. There will be pimples or little white heads that are the body’s way of pushing out the toxic buildup of grease or fat. Since the digestive system can’t expel all of it, it comes out through the skin.

When you see the rashes, pimples, bumps and other scary looking baby skin conditions, you might kind of freak out and want to squeeze, pick, and scrap off all unsightly signs. However, that’s the worst thing you can do. The best way is to keep the skin clean and use an oil or lotion to keep them from leaving scars. If necessary, take your baby to a dermatologist for specialized treatment.
