Question 1

can daily cold showers help reduce skin redness over time?

Accepted Answer

If the redness: if related to overly dry skin associated with excessively hot water in showers than it might help. The real question is what is the underlying cause of the skin redness.

Question 2

my 3 month old's neck is constantly wet/damp and red as well. the colour around the redness is different compared to her normal skin. what can i use?

Accepted Answer

Confusing question: Is the kid just chubby with neck roles that sweat against each other? Is this an isolated issue with a skinny neck ? Infants sweat &amp; expel heat more in their head/neck than their trunk, so this may be a normal variation. You can blow the area dry with a hair dryer on no heat setting &amp; baby powder (no starch) may help. Have her doc evaluate it at the next checkup.
