What causes red bumps on children's bodies?

Young children are a special group of people. Children at this stage cannot speak and many of their expressions are unable to communicate with their parents. As parents, we can only judge the child’s condition based on guesswork or go to the hospital for a check-up. In fact, in many cases, it is not convenient for many parents to go to the hospital, so some simple questions of children can be answered through learning. For example, some red bumps may appear on young children's bodies, mainly due to the following reasons.

We all know that once there is a problem with the skin, it always makes us feel very uncomfortable. However, many babies often have some skin problems due to sensitive skin. Among them, red bumps on young children are a common skin problem. Sometimes babies always scratch them with their hands, which is particularly easy to cause infection. Let’s understand what is going on with red bumps on young children.

What to do if red pimples appear on children's bodies

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. Common skin symptoms in babies are as follows.

Heat rash

Babies are more prone to prickly heat. The main reasons are that their sweat glands are still immature and their metabolism is fast. If they wear stuffy clothes and sweat a lot at this time, the sweat glands will easily be blocked, leading to prickly heat, which is also a type of heat rash. Prickly heat is a needle-sized red rash that feels itchy and often appears on the baby's forehead, neck, back and other areas prone to sweating.

In a hot and stuffy environment, avoid dressing your baby too many clothes, and remember to change your baby's clothes frequently even if he sweats. If the symptoms are mild, keep the baby's body dry, so that the rash on the baby's body will naturally subside, or you can use a small amount of prickly heat powder or prickly heat water; if the symptoms are severe, use prickly heat water to relieve the symptoms.

Allergic dermatitis

The most common congenital allergic dermatitis is atopic dermatitis. Symptoms of this dermatitis occur on the cheeks, neck, elbows, wrists, and flexed knees. Babies will feel itchy, and this disease may persist into childhood. If parents have allergies, such as respiratory tract allergies, skin allergies, and asthma, the probability of their babies having allergies will also be higher. When a baby develops a rash, often cries for no reason, has anorexia, and is in a bad mood, parents may suspect that the baby has an allergy and should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

The physical health of young children is very important. With some experience, you can preliminarily judge what is going on with the pimples on the child's body. If it is prickly heat, apply some prickly heat powder and it will be better in a day or two. If it is still not better after a few days, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time. After all, pediatricians are more experienced and can know how to use medications in a targeted manner based on the child's condition. I hope it helps you.
