What causes red spots on children?

Every family hopes that everyone in the family is healthy and does not want any disease to occur in the family, especially the children. Red spots on children's bodies are a common occurrence in children. But some parents don’t know the reason why this happens. In order to better protect children's health, we need to understand the causes of erythema on children. Let’s listen to the experts’ introduction below.

1. We all know that children have the weakest resistance and their skin is relatively delicate and smooth, so it is easy for them to have this kind of skin problem. However, many parents become anxious when they see red spots on their children, so they rush to apply some medicines. However, this treatment is incorrect. At this time, parents should calmly find out the cause of the red spots on the baby's body.

2. According to experts, there are many reasons for red spots on babies' bodies. It may be caused by allergies or other diseases. However, the more serious one is systemic lupus erythematosus, which is more common in children under 3 months old. It is because the sick mother transfers the antinuclear antibodies in her body to the fetus through the placenta. The rash in children mainly occurs on the face, scalp, and around the eye sockets, but may also occur on the limbs and non-exposed parts of the body, often accompanied by heart conduction block. Some children also experience thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, hemolytic anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, glomerulonephritis, etc. Anti-Rr/SS-A antibodies are the serum markers of lupus erythematosus in children.

3. If erythema appears on the child's body, in addition to taking the child to a regular hospital for treatment in time, the family should also pay attention to the child's care. Do not use soap to irritate the child when washing the face and bathing. If the erythema 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. Dress your child in clean, soft and comfortable clothes, change and wash pillows frequently, and use light-colored pure cotton cloth for clothes and bedding, instead of chemical fiber products. Don't let your children get cold or hot, keep them away from cold wind and don't expose them to the sun in summer. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as peppers, onions, garlic, wine and other foods.

The above is an introduction to erythema on children. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. In fact, in many cases, children don’t care much when they get red spots on their bodies, but this may cause certain harm to their physical health, and parents will also be very worried. Therefore, in the future, family members should pay more attention to the care of their children's skin.
