One of the main problems facing the skin of babies is the dryness. This is nothing more than dehydration of the skin. Heating in winter and chlorine in swimming pools and air conditioning in summer contribute to this. The solution is none other than trying to keep our child's skin more hydrated.
The dermatologistAngela Hernandez Martin, a doctor at the Niño Jesús Hospital, in Madrid, speaks to us in this interview, granted exclusively to our site, about how to care for dry skin in babies and offers us the best tips to protect the skin during childhood.

Dry skin in children can be the cause of pimples. How should we take care of the sensitive and dry skin of the little ones?
Dryness and skin sensitivity They are, without a doubt, the problems that parents consult the dermatologist the most. When the child has dry skin, at most, it would be necessary to hydrate him once or twice a day, and observe and choose the moisturizer that best suits the child's skin, in particular.
However, there are certain irritations that are rough to the touch and dryness is often confused with inflammation of the skin, so the effect of moisturizers is limited and the child does not stop having the inflamed skin no matter how much we hydrate it. In the case of a persistent dryness that is not resolved in any way and that frequently causes itching or stinging in the child when it is hydrated, it should be consulted with a dermatologist to study the possibility of a dermatitis super-added or independent of dryness.
These conditions require a specific treatment that, sometimes, includes removing the moisturizer for a few days or supplementing it with a specific treatment. The therapy depends on each case and the origin of the eczema or irritation.
