Myths vs. Facts

Baby acne happens because the baby is dirty

Myth: Baby acne happens because the baby is dirty
Fact: Baby acne is common in newborns and is usually caused by hormones passed from the mother. It’s not related to cleanliness. Most cases clear up on their own with gentle care.

All rashes are contagious

Myth: All rashes are contagious
Fact: Not every rash is infectious. Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or allergic reactions can cause rashes without spreading to others. A pediatric dermatologist can pinpoint the exact cause.

Sunscreen isn’t necessary for young children

Myth: Sunscreen isn’t necessary for young children
Fact: Children’s skin is highly sensitive to UV rays. Daily use of a broad-spectrum, child-friendly sunscreen helps prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage.

Eczema is caused by poor diet

Myth: Eczema is caused by poor diet
Fact: While certain foods may trigger flare-ups, eczema mainly results from genetics and the immune system. Consistent skincare and medical guidance are the best ways to manage it.

Warts and moles should always be removed immediately

Myth: Warts and moles should always be removed immediately
Fact: Most warts and benign moles in children are harmless. Pediatric dermatologists usually monitor them for changes before recommending treatment.

Over-the-counter creams are safe for any child

Myth: Over-the-counter creams are safe for any child
Fact: Some creams contain steroids or ingredients that can irritate delicate skin. Always consult a pediatric dermatologist before using any medicated cream.

Cradle cap is a sign of poor hygiene

Myth: Cradle cap is a sign of poor hygiene
Fact: Cradle cap is caused by oil buildup and skin sensitivity—not cleanliness. Gentle shampooing and moisturizing often resolve it naturally.
