Take the minor problem of red bumps on baby's legs for example. Although it is not a serious problem, it will still attract the attention of parents and make them worried. Today, I will tell you what to do if red bumps appear on your baby’s legs. I hope it will be of some help to all new parents.

Many infants and young children will develop eczema (milk rash) on their faces, necks, and bodies. Once the baby starts sweating, he will scratch and cry non-stop because of the itch. Parents should be reminded here: First of all, do not scratch randomly to avoid breaking the skin and causing infection. For treatment, you can use 2%~3% boric acid, rinse it with boiling water, dip a small amount on a relatively clean gauze or sterilized cotton swab, and apply it to the affected area. Chinese medicine can use 20 grams of honeysuckle and 20 grams of dandelion, boil them into water, filter them after cooling, dip a little with a cool, wet towel, and slowly apply them to the affected area. Usually supplement more vitamins C, B1, and B6, and let your baby drink some orange juice appropriately. Try not to use hot water or boiling water to wash the affected area. In addition, you can also buy some black bean distilled oil ointment at the pharmacy, dip a small amount with a cotton swab and apply it to the affected area once a day. After applying boric acid or Chinese medicine cold compress, you can then apply ointment for better results. If the eczema covers a large area and the affected skin becomes red and festering, you should go to the hospital for treatment. The following care methods are generally used for infants with eczema: Do not use irritating soap when washing the child's face and bathing. If the eczema on the body and limbs is severe, do not take a bath in a tub for the time being, and apply medicine immediately after washing; change the child into clean, soft and comfortable clothes, pillows should be changed and washed frequently, clothes and bedding should be made of light-colored pure cotton cloth, and chemical fiber products should not be used; do not let the child get cold or hot, avoid cold wind, and do not expose to the sun in summer; wet nurses should avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as peppers, onions, garlic, wine, etc.; milk for children should be cooked for a longer time to destroy the allergens in the milk. When a child suffers from severe eczema, he or she should seek treatment from a dermatologist in time. Parents should not apply medication to the child casually to avoid aggravating the allergy. Generally, eczema improves easily after treatment, but it is also easy to relapse. However, there is no need to worry. It will gradually heal after stopping milk drinking (about 6 months).

From the above, we can see that red bumps on baby’s legs are not a serious problem, but they still need to be taken seriously by parents. I hope I can provide some help.
