Do children have itchy red spots on the soles of their feet?

If the soles of your baby's feet appear red and itchy, it is usually eczema caused by allergies. If your child has an allergic constitution, it is best to find out the allergens and then treat them symptomatically. However, if you don't find out the cause of the disease, do not blindly give your baby medication, otherwise it will easily worsen the condition and make treatment more difficult. If you use medication, it is best to use it under the guidance of a doctor.

Common symptoms of eczema on the soles of feet:

1. General symptoms: Obvious skin lesions, diverse rashes, symmetrical distribution, varying degrees of itching, which may recur and may develop into a chronic disease if not healed over time.

2. Differentiation from athlete's foot: When foot eczema occurs, obvious erythema, papules, blisters, etc. can be seen, which are similar to athlete's foot (scientific name tinea pedis) and can easily cause confusion. Therefore, after discovering these symptoms, it is recommended to go to a good hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment to avoid delaying the disease.

The causes of eczema on the soles of the feet are:

1. Internal factors: The patient himself has an allergic constitution, which is related to genetics. People with this constitution are more likely to be allergic to many substances in life, which is also an important cause of eczema. It may be related to many factors such as age, environment, nerves such as anxiety, high or low mood, etc. In addition, it is also related to endocrine.

2. External factors: including sunlight, humidity, heat, scratching, friction, soap, synthetic fibers, etc. Certain foods such as fish, shrimp, eggs, etc. can also trigger the occurrence of eczema. For patients, if they pay attention to these avoidable external factors, they can also effectively control the disease and keep themselves away from the troubles of the disease.

3. In the hot summer and high humidity, wearing plastic slippers for a long time will cause the interaction between sweat and harmful chemical components in plastic, which will cause acute eczema on the feet.

Generally speaking, the drugs for treating eczema include pimecrolimus cream, tacrolimus ointment, compound camphor cream, etc. In addition, patients should also pay attention to the following in their daily lives:

1. Patients with eczema should avoid drinking alcohol, coffee, spicy and fried foods, and should eat a light diet with more fruits and vegetables. Eat less hot fruits such as durian, mango, longan, and lychee.

2. It is recommended that patients should maintain a regular diet in their daily life, because not eating three meals a day on time, or being picky or partial in eating, can easily cause malnutrition in the body, which is not good for the recovery of eczema.
