Why does my baby have red spots on his forehead when he cries?

Parents will face various problems in the process of raising their babies, especially when the baby is very young. If the baby is uncomfortable or feels insecure, he will cry constantly. When some babies cry particularly hard, red spots will appear on their foreheads. After the baby's emotions stabilize, the red spots may slowly disappear. So why does this phenomenon occur?

Why does my baby have red spots on his forehead when he cries?

Human skin is very delicate and prone to a variety of skin diseases. Children's skin is more fragile than adults', so it is more susceptible to a variety of skin diseases. I believe that most parents have children who have suffered from skin diseases. Once a child has a skin disease, it is very difficult to treat and it is easy to relapse. Therefore, many parents are particularly worried when they find that their children have red spots on their foreheads when they cry. So what's going on?

If the red spots only appear on the child's forehead when the child is crying, and after the child stops crying, the red spots on the forehead will slowly fade away and eventually disappear, and the child does not feel any discomfort such as pain or itching during the whole process, then this situation is normal.

This is because when a child cries, he is very excited, blood rushes up, and the capillaries on the forehead expand, resulting in the appearance of red spots. In fact, it is not uncommon for red spots to appear on a child’s forehead when he cries. Many younger children will have red spots on their foreheads when they cry because their own regulatory functions are insufficient. Usually this situation does not require special treatment or medication. As the child grows older, the situation will naturally improve.

If red spots appear on the child's forehead when he cries, and if the spots do not disappear for a long time after the child has calmed down, it is very likely acute eczema and the child must be taken to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

The above is the explanation for the question of why red spots appear on the baby’s forehead when he cries. If the child develops painful or itchy red spots on his forehead when he cries, and the red spots do not subside for a long time, parents must be vigilant and take the child to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible to prevent the red spots on the child's forehead from becoming more and more serious.
