What to do if your child has small pimples on his arms

Every move and every word of the child touches the parents' hearts. Older children have the ability to express themselves in language, and sometimes when they are not feeling well, they can communicate with their parents; younger babies do not yet have the ability to express themselves in language, and babies at this age are most likely to cause their parents to worry. Therefore, we should observe the baby's physical condition more carefully. Some parents have reported that their children have small bumps on their arms. What’s going on? This situation can happen to babies of all ages, so let me tell you what this situation is and how to treat it.

1. If a child has small pimples on his arms, it may be caused by allergies. In this case, it is usually recommended to use anti-allergic drugs and then use some Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole cream for treatment.

2. If a child has small bumps on his arms, does it itch? If not, then there are goose bumps. Then supplementing with vitamin A and whole grains can improve the situation.

3. If a child has small pimples on his arms, it may be keratosis pilaris. Symptoms of this condition include rough, bumpy patches on the limbs, especially on the outer sides of the upper arms and thighs. It is a hereditary disease. Apart from affecting the appearance, it has no impact on life, right?

Treatment methods: bath salt (table salt also has an exfoliating effect, but the sodium in it will dry out the skin). I tried this method for a semester, but the effect was not obvious; or apply retinoic acid or Divi cream, but be careful to only apply it at night. It will take about a month to be effective, but once you stop using it, it will return to its original state; another method is to do fruit acid peeling under the guidance of a professional doctor, which can make the skin crystal clear within a few days, but it is very expensive. Also, avoid squeezing the rash frequently, because it is easy to leave small scars after the rash is squeezed out.

The small bumps on children's arms are usually caused by these situations. If your child has this condition, it is strongly recommended that you do not take any medication on your own. Instead, take your baby to a professional hospital and have a dermatology check-up. The doctor will prescribe the right medication based on your baby's condition. Because sometimes we take medicine on our own which may cause harm to the baby's skin.
