Nine month old baby has red spots on his body

The most common causes of red spots on a nine-month-old baby are allergic dermatitis and eczema. A nine-month-old baby's skin is very delicate, and his organs are not yet fully developed. His resistance is relatively poor and he is easily affected by the outside world and his diet, which often causes such symptoms. We should strengthen skin care and pay attention to dietary adjustments in our daily life. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

Nine month old baby has red spots on his body

1. Congenital allergic constitution: Eczema is related to genetic factors. Some babies are born with allergic constitution. Most protein-containing foods can often cause skin allergies and eczema in these babies, such as milk, eggs, fish, meat, shrimp, crabs, etc.

2. Stimulation from acquired factors: Inhalation of chemical dust, aerosol, mold spores, plant pollen, plant volatiles, dust mites, feathers, animal fur fragments, etc. in the air can also irritate the baby and cause allergies.

3. Red spots on the body caused by prickly heat: Babies are more prone to prickly heat, which is also a type of heat rash. It is a needle-sized red rash that feels itchy and often appears on the baby's forehead, neck, back and other areas prone to sweating.

How to take care of the unexplained red spots on the baby's body?

1. When bathing your baby, it is advisable to use warm water and non-alkaline bath agent to clean the baby's body. For babies with intertrigo, special attention should be paid to cleaning the folds of the skin.

2. The baby's hair should also be washed every day. If the baby has seborrheic dermatitis, the scabs can be removed by carefully washing the head. If the scab has hardened and stuck to the head, apply olive oil on the affected area and then wash it after a while.

3. Parents should always pay attention to changes in temperature and humidity around their baby. Babies with contact dermatitis should especially avoid exposing their skin to cold wind or strong sunlight.

4. In summer, after your baby sweats during exercise, you should wipe off his sweat carefully; when the weather is cold and dry, you should apply anti-allergic non-oily moisturizer on your baby.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone should understand the question "What's going on when red spots suddenly appear on the baby's body?" If red spots appear on the child's body, parents should let the child rest at home and it is best not to go out to play to avoid cross infection. When young mothers encounter such a situation, they should not rush to apply medicine to their children. They can go to the hospital for a check-up.
