Common skin conditions in infants include allergic dermatitis, eczema, and congenital hemangiomas. Allergic dermatitis primarily results from infants’ skin coming into contact with allergenic substances. Eczema may be associated with both genetic and environmental factors. Congenital hemangiomas are present at birth and typically resolve spontaneously, requiring no specific treatment.
