What should I do if my child has pustules on his face?

We often see pustules on children's faces. Some people think that pustules are just pimples, but some pustules are acne. If not treated in time, it will cause more skin diseases. Children often develop pustules in summer and autumn, so mothers should remind their children to wash their faces frequently, which can effectively avoid the appearance of pustules. So how to eliminate abscesses? Let me introduce it to you.

According to doctors, impetigo is the most common skin disease among children and infants in summer and autumn, mostly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, beta-hemolytic Streptococcus or a mixed infection of the two.

Impetigo is mainly treated with drugs and can also be supplemented with diet therapy.

Impetigo is mainly treated with topical medications, and oral medications may be considered as a supplement for a few severe cases. If the pustules have not broken, you can apply calamine lotion externally. If the pustules are large, the blister fluid should be extracted. If the pustules have broken, you can use potassium permanganate wet compresses of appropriate concentrations, and then apply antibiotic ointment externally. For internal drug treatment, sensitive antibiotics should be used in a timely manner, and attention should be paid to water and electrolyte balance.

The prevention of impetigo is to keep the skin clean and hygienic, take more baths, change clothes frequently, avoid contact transmission, and arrange diet, sleep and activities properly. When sick, people should be isolated and the clothes they have worn should be disinfected, especially in childcare institutions. Objects that have been touched by the patient should be boiled and disinfected. For children suffering from impetigo, they should take frequent baths and cut their nails frequently, and apply ointments such as gentian violet, chloramphenicol, and neomycin to the impetigo. Avoid the abuse of hormone ointments such as "Fu-Less" to prevent the spread of skin lesions and worsen the condition.

In addition to drug treatment, diet therapy can also be used to alleviate the condition during the illness. According to experts, porridge made with yam as the main ingredient has a good effect in assisting the treatment of impetigo in children. Parents may wish to give it a try.
