Often on the skin of the baby, there are all sorts of irritations: acne, a small rash, local redness or pink spots. The most common reaction of the baby's skin to external factors is sweating. It represents the "answer" of the skin to overheating: at a high temperature in the room or excessive amounts of clothing on the child, secretion of sweat increases.

But the sweat glands do not cope with the increased load and do not have time to allocate the entire amount of sweat.
