Children's face rash

The rash is a very annoying phenomenon because most people with the rash will find that the rash spreads and becomes very itchy after it develops. The chance of a child developing a rash on their skin is much higher than that of an adult, and the body of a child is different from that of an adult, so the treatment strategies after the rash is found are also different. So what are the relevant treatment strategies for a rash on a child's face?

Causes of neonatal rash

Symptoms of rash in newborns are very common in daily life. The main causes of the disease are as follows:

1. Common skin diseases

That is, prickly heat, seborrheic dermatitis, allergic dermatitis, diaper rash;

2. Infectious rash

If the baby is infected by a virus or bacteria, he or she will often have a fever and develop a rash. Common rashes include roseola and red scab.

3. Food and drug allergies

If your baby is allergic to food or medicine, he or she may also develop a rash. If parents find a rash on their body, they should see a doctor first to determine the cause and prescribe the right medicine, because using the wrong medicine will cause the symptoms to worsen and will be detrimental to treatment. Babies aged 0-1 years old may occasionally develop rashes, and these rashes may represent different skin diseases. Parents should never be smart and apply medicine on their own to treat the diseases.

What to do if your newborn baby has a rash

Parents get really nervous when their newborn baby develops a rash. In fact, parents can start with diet management and drug treatment to alleviate their children's rash.

1. Diet management. First, avoid feeding too much food to maintain normal digestion. If you suspect you are allergic to milk, you can boil it for a longer time to denature the protein, which can reduce allergens. Or you can choose a low-allergy formula milk such as Nestle Super NEN. If the condition is more serious, you should take a special formula milk like Alesun. If necessary, goat milk or soy milk (see the nutrition section) can be used instead of milk. If egg white allergy is suspected, give egg yolk alone, or start with a small amount of egg white and gradually increase the amount. Breastfeeding mothers can stop eating eggs.

2. Antihistamines. Taking chlorpheniramine, phenergan, diphenhydramine, isopropylamine, etc. alone or in turns has good antipruritic and anti-allergic effects, and has varying degrees of sedative effects. Non-sedating antihistamines, such as astemizole (tablets or oral solution) and terfenadine. Antihistamines with sedative effects are preferred over the latter.

3. Corticosteroids. Whether taken orally or injected intravenously, it can quickly control symptoms and has obvious anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects. However, it is easy to relapse after discontinuation of the drug and cannot be cured. Long-term use can cause dependence and various adverse reactions, so it should be used with caution as appropriate. For patients with generalized acute eczema who do not respond well to other treatments, oral prednisone can be taken for a short period of time and the dosage can be gradually reduced as the condition improves.

4. Antibiotics. It is only used for children with secondary local or lymph node infections, increased white blood cell count and increased body temperature. Generally, intramuscular injection of penicillin or oral administration of erythromycin or co-trimoxazole is used.
