What are the symptoms of acute dermatitis in children?

When children are young, their skin is more delicate and there are always some problems. Sometimes they will have some allergies or even acute dermatitis. When a child has dermatitis, some parents do not know what dermatitis is, do not understand the symptoms of dermatitis, and let the children suffer from dermatitis. So what are the symptoms of acute dermatitis? Let me tell you in detail!

The main symptoms of acute dermatitis in children are as follows:

1. Itching. The affected area has paroxysmal itching, especially at night, which can affect sleep.

2. Lichenoid skin lesions. The skin lesions of this disease are characterized by lichenification of the skin. The skin in the affected area shows lichenification, thickening of the skin, deepening of skin wrinkles, raised skin ridges, dark brown and dry skin lesions, fine desquamation, clear borders, and small scattered flat papules on the edges.

3. Cosmetic dermatitis. Improper selection or use of cosmetics can cause cosmetic dermatitis. First, don’t choose cosmetics containing hormones. Second, don’t think that the most expensive is the best. If you find that there is a type of cosmetics that suits you very well, then continue to use it. It is not advisable to change cosmetics frequently.

4. Prone areas. Localized neurodermatitis often occurs in the neck, nape, knees, elbows, sacrum and other parts of the body; disseminated neurodermatitis can spread throughout the body.

5. General acute dermatitis is mostly small molecule chemical substances, so it is not antigenic and is a hapten.

6. Acute dermatitis must combine with the carrier protein in the epidermis to form a complete antigen. It acquires antigenicity, then acts on the body, and eventually leads to the occurrence of type IV allergic reaction. However, observational studies have noted that acute dermatitis is also related to humoral immunity.

After reading the above introduction, I believe you have a deeper understanding of acute dermatitis. When your child shows similar symptoms as above, you should be sure that your child has acute dermatitis. It is best to consult a doctor in time and use some medication to control the child under the guidance of the doctor. Do not let the child scratch randomly to avoid unnecessary infection.
