Causes of red bumps on children's bodies

Parents are always concerned about their children's health. Once there is an abnormal condition in their children, parents will think of various ways to solve it. When some children are young, they will have some red bumps on their bodies. There are many reasons for red bumps on children, and it may not be possible to immediately identify the cause. Therefore, some of the causes of red bumps on children are listed below. If parents find that their children have red bumps on their bodies, they can make a guess.

1. Chickenpox. Chickenpox is an epidemic infectious disease in spring. Most patients are children aged one to fourteen, who are more likely to be infected in schools and nurseries. Pathogen: Varicella-zoster virus Incubation period: 10 to 21 days Symptoms before onset: Mild fever, malaise, poor appetite Process: Small red spots appear on the patient's body, starting from the chest and abdomen, and then spreading to the whole body. The small red spots grow larger and become blisters filled with fluid. After a day or two, the blisters burst and form crusts or bumps. A new red dot appears again at the same position, and the same process repeats. New red spots appear two to four times during two to six days. After ten to fourteen days, the red spots will fall off and the condition will be completely healed without leaving any scars.

2. Eczema. The causes of baby eczema are complex, among which allergies are the most important, so babies with a family history of allergies are prone to eczema. There are also inherent factors that make babies more prone to eczema. This is because babies' skin stratum corneum is relatively thin, their capillary network is rich, and their endothelium contains more water and chloride, making them more sensitive to various stimuli, so it is also called infant eczema. Childhood eczema itself is not caused by humidity, but humidity can make eczema worse. The rash may become more noticeable after your child has bathed or sweated.

3. Urticaria. Urticaria is a common allergic skin disease in children, commonly known as "rubella". When the disease occurs, many rashes of different shapes and sizes, red, raised, and white in the middle appear on the baby's skin, and the affected area will become extremely itchy. The rash will disappear automatically within 24 hours after it appears. Due to the severe itching, babies often scratch excessively, causing damage to the skin epidermis and causing secondary skin infections.

These are some of the reasons why red bumps appear on children’s bodies. I hope parents will pay more attention to their children’s skin conditions, especially for young children who cannot fully express themselves. When red bumps appear on the skin, they need to be treated in time to prevent the children from scratching their skin and causing a lot of harm when the red bumps become painful and itchy.
