Noticed something on your baby's skin but can't tell if it's baby acne, eczema, or diaper rash? With BebeSnap's AI Skin Analysis, you can get possible conditions and care tips from just one photo.

Why You Need AI Skin Analysis

Baby skin issues come in many forms:

  • Baby acne - Common at 2-4 weeks old
  • Diaper rash - Red patches in diaper area
  • Eczema - Itchy, dry patches
  • Heat rash - From warm environments
  • Various rashes - Multiple possible causes

The problem is these look similar to untrained eyes. The same red rash can require completely different care depending on the cause.

Baby Acne vs Eczema - What's the Difference?

A common source of confusion:

  • Baby acne: Appears at 2-4 weeks and usually clears up before age 1
  • Eczema/Atopic dermatitis: Lasts 6+ months and appears on face, neck, arms, and legs

If symptoms persist beyond 6 months or appear in multiple areas, eczema may be suspected.

BebeSnap AI Skin Analysis combines your photo with symptom info to provide 2-3 possible conditions with specific care tips for each.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can it analyze areas other than the face?

Yes! Face, body, arms, legs, diaper area - anywhere works. Just take a clear photo of the affected area.

Q: What if there are issues in multiple spots?

We recommend analyzing each area separately. Even if they look similar, different areas can have different causes. Diaper rash and facial baby acne need different care.

Q: What's most important when taking photos?

Bright natural light is key. Photos taken near a window work better than under fluorescent lights - AI can detect color and texture more accurately. Avoid shadows.

Q: Results vary even for the same spot?

Results can differ slightly based on lighting and angle. Consistent shooting conditions help you track changes more accurately over time.

Q: Can I use it if my baby already has a diagnosis?

Absolutely! It's actually useful for tracking treatment progress. Analyze again a few days after applying prescribed ointment to see if it's improving.
