Hi, I'm Dr. John Hellerstedt with the Children's Health Minute, presented by this station and TexCare - connecting Texas families with children's health insurance for 18 dollars a month or less.

There are several skin conditions that are common during infancy and early childhood. Undeveloped sweat glands make babies prone to heat rash, a condition caused by a combination of hot weather and humidity. To avoid heat rash, dress your baby in loose clothing.

Cradle cap is another common condition when a baby's overactive glands cause crusty patches to form on the scalp. Gently wipe baby oil on the affected part of the scalp, then wash with baby shampoo.

Finally, chafing can occur when there is friction between clothing and skin or where areas of skin rub together. Chafing is easily treatable with lotion or baby powder.
