Food allergy
A baby's butt allergy at 3 years old can manifest itself as a reaction to certain foods. The diet changes, new dishes are introduced. Therefore, parents need to monitor the condition of the baby's skin after he has tried something.new. If the allergy appeared at this very moment, then the product should be excluded from the child's diet.
Such a reaction is often manifested in infants, if the mother has added a new component to her menu that can cause such consequences. It is best for breastfeeding women to keep a food diary, where to enter all the foods that are eaten. Then it will be possible to establish exactly what the baby was allergic to.

Allergy to pollen, dust and wool
Allergy in children on the pope can be a sign of an inadequate reaction of the child's body to something that is difficult to completely get rid of: dust and pollen, pet hair, tiny particles of soot and burning polluting the atmosphere. Having noticed redness and rashes on the child’s body, you need to analyze what happened in the world around the baby before the allergy manifested itself?
A doctor and a competent examination will be able to make an adequate diagnosis and identify the allergen. At the same time, recommendations will be given and, if necessary, special antihistamines will be prescribed.

Allergy to baby cosmetics
For the care of newborn babies and older children, a huge number of cosmetics are offered, which, with their bright, cute packaging, just ask for a shopping cart. But, using them, you can notice that a rash appears on the pope, the child's skin turns red, pimples appear. It's a cosmetic allergy. Despite the fact that manufacturers write in large letters "hypoallergenic" on the packaging, the components that make up the cream, oil, lotion can cause an allergic reaction. So new children's cosmetics should first be tested on a small area of the baby's skin. This will make sure that it suits him and notwill cause severe irritation or angioedema.
Diaper Allergy
For modern parents, the use of items that facilitate child care is a common thing. But, as pediatricians note, diaper allergies have also become an integral part of life for babies. You will have to try several brands to find the one that does not cause irritation. But no one canceled the observance of the rules for changing the diaper. You can not keep the ass all the time in a greenhouse of moisture-retaining components. After all, the skin needs to breathe. A diaper is an indispensable thing in many everyday situations and for going out. However, the baby also needs to rest from him.
Allergy to household chemicals
Another reason why pimples may appear on a child's pope is household chemicals. Having crossed the threshold of infancy, standing on their feet, going to kindergarten, children get a life together with adults in all plans: shared food, common laundry and dishwashing detergents.
Household chemicals are becoming a common cause of allergies in children. It is not for nothing that manufacturers produce special product lines specifically for caring for children's things: washing powders, soap, and dishwashing detergent. They have reduced the number of active ingredients that can cause an inadequate reaction of the body.
But if you have to use "adult" chemistry, then you should pay more attention to the process of rinsing and washing with clean water. This will remove allunnecessary substances more carefully. However, this procedure will not harm the adults themselves to maintain he alth. After all, the chemical compounds remaining on the dishes and linen gradually harm the body.
Sweating
The most common cause that causes a rash on the pope and in the folds of the baby's body is prickly heat. Most parents try to wrap their child as warmly as possible, rightly believing that this is necessary. But the baby, packed in several layers of clothes, suffers from the greenhouse effect, sweats, wet places begin to swell, causing irritation.
Parents may not even notice the problem in time, and it becomes a source of crying and whims of the baby. After all, the skin is injured, a wound and inflammation may appear. There is a golden rule to follow in order to dress your child correctly: put one more layer of clothing on your child than on yourself.
Going to the doctor
Children can often complain that their ass itches. With allergies, a child may develop not only a rash, but also itching. However, it can also be a manifestation of helminthiasis - an infection with parasites, such as pinworms, the females of which lay their eggs in the anal folds, causing itching.
Only a competent doctor can determine the exact cause of any problems with the condition of the crumbs with an adequate examination and examination with the necessary tests. And only a doctor can prescribe medication after a diagnosis. Self-medication is unacceptable!

Blood and urine tests are standard procedures that help track changes in the he alth of a person of any age. Suspicion of helminthiasis obliges to pass an analysis for eggs of worms and enterobiasis. Allergy will require a special examination to establish the allergen, which will help to exclude it from the environment of the baby.
Do I need hormones
