Small pimples on children's bodies are a relatively common skin disease.

The following is an introduction to the common causes of small pimples on children's bodies. You can learn about it in detail and then give your child targeted treatment.

Small bumps on your child's body may be urticaria. The scientific name of wheal is urticaria, which is a common skin disease in children. When there are wheals (groups) of varying sizes on the skin, they will feel a bit hard, itchy and swollen when touched. Pores can be seen on the surface of wheal, and a light scratch on the skin may result in a red mark slightly higher than the skin surface. This is due to the cells and fluid in the blood vessels seeping out of the blood vessels. The child's urticaria appears suddenly and disappears quickly without leaving any trace, but it is easy to recur and may occur several times a day. Urticaria can occur in any part of the body. When the digestive tract is affected, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may occur. It can also cause laryngeal edema, chest tightness, shortness of breath, suffocation, and bronchial asthma. If the lesions invade the kidneys, proteinuria and edema of the hands, feet, and face will occur. These are all very serious manifestations.

The causes of urticaria are many and complex, so parents should observe carefully and provide a detailed medical history to facilitate smoother treatment. Common causes include:

1. Exposure to cold, wind or pollen in the spring. For example, if you fail to cover your child with clothes in time after giving him a bath, the child may be exposed to the cold wind. This is a common cause.

2. Food factors: such as eating fish, crabs, shrimps, milk, eggs, etc.

3. There are family factors: there is a history of urticaria among relatives.

4. Infectious factors: cold, fever, virus, bacteria or parasitic infection.

5. Contact with the fur and secretions of pets such as dogs, cats, and birds.

6. Drug factors: such as penicillin, ampicillin, cefotaxime, antipyretics, vaccinations, etc. Some children have negative penicillin skin tests, but develop rashes and wheals during the injection process. These are common cases; or no rash is seen on the 1st to 2nd day of treatment, but rashes and wheals appear on the 3rd day. This should also be considered to be drug-induced and should be discontinued immediately, and anti-allergic drugs should be used at the same time.

7. Insect bite rash: This condition often occurs in infants and young children with allergic constitutions. It occurs after being bitten by mosquitoes, bedbugs, lice, and mites, mostly on exposed parts of the skin. Small red spots of insect bites can be seen in the center of wheals and rashes, which mostly occur on the extensor side of the limbs. Sometimes the rash can be seen running along the blood vessels. Children feel locally itchy and restless.

Treatment of urticaria:

First, finding the cause and eliminating the cause is the fundamental solution.

Second, treat the symptoms and relieve itching. Use calamine lotion, anti-allergic drugs such as diphenhydramine, phenergan, and Claritin; also, calcium supplements and vitamin C can reduce capillary permeability.

Third, actively treat complications, such as abdominal pain, laryngeal edema, bronchial asthma, etc.
