What’s going on when my baby has small red bumps on the palms of his hands?

Many mothers may find that their babies have small red bumps on the palms of their hands during the process of raising their children. Most women will be nervous when encountering this phenomenon, so it is very necessary to have an understanding of this knowledge. This can also help you accumulate experience, which will make you more adept at raising children in the future, and it will also allow you to adjust your baby's body as soon as possible.

A baby's skin is very delicate and even the slightest stimulation can cause the baby's skin to become sick. Infant eczema usually appears between 1 month and 2 years old after birth, and is most severe in babies aged 2-3 months.

It often occurs on the cheeks, scalp, forehead, between the eyebrows, neck, under the jaw or behind the ears, and may also spread to other parts of the body. The rash has similar appearances. Some babies have flushed skin covered with yellow greasy scales or scabs, while others have flushed skin covered with rashes and small blisters.

No matter which kind of rash it is, it is accompanied by waves of severe itching. Babies often lean on their mothers' bodies and rub against them to relieve the itching until the small blisters break and form large areas of red and moist erosions.

At this time, there is a lot of exudate, which can soak clothes and bedding, form scabs after drying, and may also develop into purulent infection or cause swelling of nearby lymph nodes. With proper treatment, ringworm will heal quickly.

But it often recurs, and most of them will disappear on their own after weaning, but some cases take a long time to heal. The rash will be relieved during fever and aggravated during teething. It is more severe in winter and spring and lighter in summer.

Generally speaking, small red bumps on newborn babies are most often caused by prickly heat, eczema, and also impetigo. The skin of a newborn is soft, the surface keratin is very thin and easy to fall off, the local defense ability is poor, and even the slightest damage makes it very susceptible to infection by Staphylococcus aureus and cause impetigo.

The above are the common reasons why small red bumps grow on the palms of babies’ hands. You can observe your baby’s body to find the specific reasons. If you are not sure, you can take your baby to the hospital for an examination, which will also make you feel more at ease. No matter what the reason is, it must be treated in time so that the baby can get better.
