Eczema is a common cause of skin rashes in infants, causing redness, bumps, swelling, itchiness, and more.

A pilonidal cyst forms under the skin at the tailbone, and usually contains skin debris and hair.
High albumin levels in the body indicate severe dehydration, a high-protein diet and wearing a tourniquet for long periods while giving a blood sample, according to MedlinePlus. Several drugs can increase albumin levels such as androgens, growth hormone, anabolic steroids and insulin.
