When should a child's rash be seen by a doctor?
See a doctor for any rash with fever, a rash that doesn't fade when pressed with a glass (non-blanching), rapidly spreading rashes, blistering or peeling skin, rashes with facial or lip swelling, or any rash in a baby under 3 months. Itchy but well-child rashes like eczema or heat rash can be seen routinely — but deserve proper treatment too.

Understanding
What Causes Rashes in Children?
Viral infections — the most common cause; many childhood viruses end with a rash as fever settles
Eczema — affects up to 1 in 5 children, driven by dry skin and triggers
Heat and sweat — prickly heat in Gurgaon summers
Contact irritation — soaps, detergents, synthetic fabrics, urine/stool in the nappy area
Allergic hives from foods, medicines or infections
Fungal and bacterial skin infections, especially in skin folds and monsoon humidity
Our approach
How We Care for Your Child at Siraa Health
Diagnose by examination
Rash pattern, distribution and the story around it — most skin diagnoses are made by looking properly, not by testing.
Treat the skin barrier
For eczema, the foundation is generous moisturising plus the correct strength of treatment cream — under-treating is the commonest failure.
Use steroids wisely, not fearfully
Appropriate short courses of mild steroid creams are safe and effective; we explain exactly how much, where and for how long.
Prevent the next flare
Trigger identification, bathing and moisturising routines, fabric and detergent advice — a plan for the months ahead, not just this week.
Evidence-based care
Every decision guided by the latest pediatric science

Parent stories
What families say
“Our son was not saying a single word at 2.5. Within four months at Siraa he was putting two and three words together. The parent coaching made the biggest difference.”
Priya M.
DLF Phase 4
“We were told to wait and see. We did not, and I am so glad. The therapist identified exactly what was holding him back. Six months later he is chatting non-stop.”
Rahul K.

“What sets Siraa apart is that they treat you as a partner, not just a parent dropping off a child. Every session I left feeling more capable and less worried.”

Questions
What parents usually ask us
How can I tell a viral rash from an allergy?+
Viral rashes usually come with or just after fever, spread over the trunk, and don't itch much; the child often improves as the rash appears. Allergic hives are intensely itchy, raised, shift location over hours, and may follow a new food or medicine. When in doubt, a photo timeline plus examination settles it.
Are steroid creams safe for my child's eczema?+
Used correctly — the right strength, on the right area, for a defined period — steroid creams are safe and are the standard treatment for eczema flares. Problems come from prolonged unsupervised use of strong steroids, especially on the face. We prescribe precisely and review.
Why does my baby's diaper rash keep coming back?+
Persistent diaper rash usually means a fungal (candida) element, too-infrequent changes, or reaction to wipes. Bright red rash involving the skin folds suggests fungus and needs an antifungal cream — barrier creams alone won't clear it.
What does a dengue rash look like?+
Dengue can cause flushed skin early, and later a fine red rash with small islands of normal skin, sometimes with tiny red-purple dots (petechiae) that don't blanch. Any rash with high fever during dengue season needs medical review and often a platelet check.
