What should I do if my child has abscesses?

Studies have found that most pustules on children are caused by folliculitis, acute cellulitis, boils, carbuncles, impotence, etc. To completely prevent the occurrence of this phenomenon, we must first determine the cause and then treat it symptomatically. In addition, we must keep the body clean and hygienic, take frequent baths, change clothes frequently, etc. Diet is also very important, and light food should be eaten. Spicy and irritating foods should not be eaten.

1. Causes of pustules on children

1. Folliculitis is the most common. Because the child's skin surface has poor antibacterial ability, coupled with unhygienic conditions or infection by pathogens, it is easy to form pustules;

2. Acute cellulitis is mainly caused by symptoms of Staphylococcus aureus infection, but it can also be easily caused by hemolytic streptococci, or it can be a mixed infection. It is often characterized by local redness, swelling, pain, and fever.

3. Furuncles or carbuncles. Furuncles are also very common diseases. They often occur after severe folliculitis infection, causing infection in the deep surrounding group of a single hair follicle. Carbuncle is the infection of multiple hair follicles on the basis of furuncle. Pustules will appear, and severe cases will be accompanied by fever and other symptoms.

4. Pustule sores are mainly caused by hemolytic streptococci or Staphylococcus aureus infection. They often occur in summer and are more common in children. The onset is relatively acute and is often accompanied by symptoms such as fever and pustules.

Based on the analysis of the above reasons, considering that the pustules on the children's legs are accompanied by fever symptoms and it is summer, the most common cause of this situation is that it is directly related to the symptoms of pustules or boils infection.
