What is the cause of ringworm on the child's face?

I believe that people nowadays will treat their children as their babies and will be very nervous if the children have any problems. Ringworm on children's faces is actually a very common disease nowadays, but many parents are still very nervous. Let's talk about the problem of ringworm on children's faces.

Infant eczema is called milk rash in traditional Chinese medicine. It is more common in obese infants and usually begins in the second or third month after birth. It often occurs on the face and skin folds, but can also affect the whole body. Generally, the symptoms gradually improve and eventually heal with age. However, a small number of cases continue to develop into childhood or even adulthood.

1. Causes and pathogenesis

The cause of the disease is quite complex, including congenital physical factors and acquired nutritional imbalance. Excessive nutrition, indigestion, improper clothing, external stimulation, etc. are all risk factors for this disease. Patients often have congenital allergic constitution, and about 3/4 of patients have a history of allergic diseases on one or both parents.

2. Patient's symptoms

1. Exudative eczema: common in obese infants, initially appears on the cheeks, with erythema, papules, and papulovesicles. It is often scratched due to severe itching, revealing bright red erosive surfaces with large amounts of exudate. In severe cases, the entire face or even the whole body may be affected. If there is secondary infection, pustules, local lymph node enlargement and fever may be seen.

2. Dry eczema: more common in thin babies. It often occurs on the scalp, between the eyebrows and other parts, and manifests as flushing, desquamation, and papules, but without obvious exudation. When it becomes chronic, it may also be slightly infiltrated and thickened, with cracks, scratches or bloody scabs. The paroxysmal severe itching often causes babies to cry and have trouble sleeping.

According to the above introduction, we can know that ringworm on children's faces is a common disease among children nowadays. It is not very difficult to treat, and it will not have any bad effects on the growth of children. So there is no need to be too nervous. Just follow the above methods.
