Red spots on the child

There are many reasons why children have red spots on their bodies. First, it may be because the child has come into contact with allergens and caused skin allergies. It may also be due to eczema, which is an infection caused by not paying attention to skin hygiene. Therefore, for the reason why the baby has small red spots on the body, we should adjust the baby’s diet and pay attention to skin cleanliness. If allergies or inflammation occur, timely treatment should be sought.

My baby has a lot of small red spots on his body. What's going on?

1. Family history of allergic constitution. If parents, grandparents, grandparents-in-law, siblings and other family members have a history of allergies such as eczema, allergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, etc., the baby is prone to eczema.

2. External inducing factors. If the baby inhales pollen, dust mites, fur, dandruff, etc.; is affected by climate changes such as sunlight, cold, humidity and heat; is stimulated by cosmetics, detergents, etc.; is allergic to food such as fish, shrimp, crab, beef and mutton, etc., it will cause eczema, and the symptoms will be red spots.

3. Internal factors. The baby's skin stratum corneum is thinner, the capillary network is rich, and the endothelium contains more water and chloride. It is more sensitive to various stimuli, so it is easy to develop eczema.

4. Diet: For breastfed babies, mothers should be careful not to eat foods such as fish and shrimp that may cause allergies. If a bottle-fed baby develops eczema, it may be that the baby is allergic to the milk powder. You can try changing the milk powder to see if the situation improves. When adding complementary foods, do not add egg whites first. It is best to add a small amount of egg yolk first, and then gradually increase the amount. Don't let your child eat too much.

5. Clothing material: Neither mother nor baby should wear clothes made of silk or wool fabrics to avoid causing or aggravating the baby's allergies. It is best to choose soft cotton clothes.
