Children are the core of the entire family. Many parents treat their children as their precious treasures.

If red pimples appear on the baby's arms, mothers will be extremely worried, fearing that something will go wrong with the child. Let us understand what is going on with the red pimples on the baby's arms! I hope parents can understand.

1. Disease Overview

The traditional Chinese medical name for pimple is small spheres or lumps, which refer to small hard lumps on the skin or muscles, caused by mosquito bites, skin allergies, and other complications. On the other hand, it also refers to the contradictions, doubts, problems, etc. in people's minds.

2. How are pimples caused?

Wind bumps, also known as urticaria (also commonly known as "wind balls" or "wind bags"), are a common disease. The incidence rate is very high. Someone has done statistics and found that about 1/5 of the world's population has suffered from urticaria. No wonder some people call it "the number one dermatological disease." According to the cause and symptoms, it is divided into chronic urticaria and acute urticaria.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is mostly caused by intolerance of constitution, eating fish, shrimp and other fishy and meaty foods that stir up wind, or because of improper diet, gastrointestinal heat, or because of physical weakness, weak defensive surface, and the invasion of wind-heat and wind-cold evil, which accumulate in the skin, muscles and skin and cause the disease. In addition, there are emotional frustration, liver depression, stagnation of Qi, and the accumulation of fire that burns the Yin blood, resulting in deficiency of Yin blood, and the invasion of wind evil and inducing this disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine has a very good effect in treating urticaria. Even if the allergen cannot be found, after a period of Chinese medicine conditioning, the condition can be alleviated by improving the patient's allergic constitution. There is no specific prescription or medicine for the treatment of urticaria with traditional Chinese medicine. Instead, it is necessary to distinguish different situations, conduct syndrome differentiation and make prescriptions. Common syndromes include wind-heat syndrome, wind-cold syndrome, rheumatism syndrome, gastrointestinal damp-heat syndrome, Qi and blood deficiency syndrome, Chong and Ren disorder syndrome, etc., each of which is treated with different prescriptions and medicines.

While taking the medication, patients should also be careful to avoid various factors that may cause urticaria. For example, keep the room clean, do not lay carpets, do not grow flowers, birds, cats or dogs, and do not spray pesticides, air fresheners, perfumes, etc. It is best to ventilate the room for two or three months before moving in after decoration. The diet can adopt the elimination method, that is, try to eat one kind of animal protein food every week. If wheals do not occur or worsen, it means that the body is not allergic to this food, and change to another one next week. Other chronic diseases should also be treated actively. If you are sensitive to cold, you should enhance your ability to adapt to cold while undergoing treatment, such as washing your face and hands with cold water and exercising regularly starting in the summer. Urticaria caused by sunlight must be treated with sun protection.

3. What is the reason for the red pimples on the baby's arms?

First of all, you need to distinguish whether it is a red bump or a bleeding spot. Red bumps protrude from the surface and do not fade when pressed, while bleeding spots are inside the skin and fade when pressed. If it is a red bump, it may be due to an allergy to something or catching a cold after taking a bath. You can apply calamine externally, apply it on the skin twice a day. If it is a bleeding spot, it is recommended that the mother go to the hospital to check the routine blood test and conduct a systematic examination.

Children's skin is relatively delicate and often have problems of one kind or another. So when red bumps appear on the baby's arms, mothers must not worry too much or panic. Instead, calm down and observe carefully to see what symptoms the baby has. Then take the child to the hospital in time and tell the doctor about the symptoms. Ask the doctor for help in judging. Only by clarifying the cause of the disease can you know how to treat it. Blindly worrying will do more harm than good to both you and the baby.
