What causes pimples on the child's head?

A lot of pimples appear on the baby's forehead for no apparent reason, which stumps many parents as they don't know how to deal with it. If your baby has pimples on his head, we should analyze what kind of pimples they are and then prescribe the right medicine. The most common ones in summer are prickly heat and eczema, and some are caused by papular urticaria due to allergies. The treatment for each pimple is different, and parents need to handle it with caution.

For the treatment of prickly heat, external medication is generally used; the most commonly used is prickly heat powder; due to the high incidence of prickly heat in infants, prickly heat powder is easy to buy and is generally available in stores;

If there are many prickly heat blisters, you can apply compound phellodendron liquid externally, which can clear dampness and toxins and relieve itching.

The occurrence of prickly heat is mostly caused by covering the child too tightly, so for children, if you find that they have prickly heat, do not cover them too tightly, and young parents should pay attention to their daily care;

In addition, many people are afraid that their children will get too hot, so they turn on the air conditioner or wash them with cold water. In fact, the occurrence of prickly heat is related to the fact that children are easily exposed to heat when sweating. Simply put, when sweating, the pores are open. If you suddenly turn on the air conditioner or use cold water, the pores will close instantly, and the sweat inside cannot be discharged, so the pores will be broken and inflammation will occur. This is the mechanism of prickly heat. Therefore, when children sweat, you can wipe them with a dry towel, and never use a wet towel.

In addition, breastfeeding mothers should have a lighter diet, such as eating more vegetables and fruits. In this case, they should eat less salt or sugar. If the prickly heat is on multiple parts of the body, you can go to the doctor to prescribe some Chinese medicine boiled water for external washing, usually mulberry leaves, etc., which will have a better effect. For obvious itching, such as children over six months old who scratch repeatedly, loratadine syrup can be given, which can effectively relieve itching and prevent the occurrence of eczema.
