Red pimples on the back of a child

We often see small red bumps on children's backs, but many parents think that as long as there are small red bumps, it is prickly heat. In fact, this is a wrong idea. Many people confuse prickly heat with eczema. Mixing the treatment of the two will delay the disease. Moreover, there are great differences in the treatment of prickly heat and eczema, from the cause of the attack to the time of the attack. Parents must distinguish between the two.

1 Different onset times

Prickly heat mainly occurs in summer. The temperature is high in summer and babies sweat a lot. If the sweat cannot be discharged in time, it will stay in the skin and cause inflammation of the surrounding skin.

The baby's physique and allergens are the main factors causing eczema. Eczema can occur in any season of the year, but it is more likely to occur in babies in spring because there are more allergens.

2 Different symptoms

At first, the skin will turn red, and then there will be small red papules. There will be small white dots in the middle of the papules. They feel granular to the touch, and the surface of the particles is smooth and delicate.

The symptoms of eczema include red spots, rice-grain-sized papules, blisters, etc. on the skin surface, and local skin burning and itching. There is no obvious granularity when touched, and the surface is rough.

3 Different causes

It is mainly due to excessive humidity and heat, such as the room temperature is too high, the baby's clothes are too thick, etc. The sweat on the baby's body is not easy to evaporate, resulting in blockage of sweat glands and pores.

The baby is more sensitive to certain substances, and the symptom of allergy is eczema, such as shrimp, milk, eggs and other foods, or pollen, medicines, etc.

It contains Manuka honey, calendula, aloe vera, liquorice and Gotu Kola, all soothing ingredients. This is a body lotion, not a medicine, but it works for redness!

2. Dermeze

This ointment is recommended by a dermatologist. It is very, very oily. I applied it on my body after dinner and went to bed. The next morning, my body was moist and not so dry.

Heat rash

○Try to keep your baby in a cool and ventilated place. If it is too hot, it will cause a lot of sweat to be secreted, which will cause prickly heat if it cannot be discharged in time.

○ After your baby sweats, wipe off the sweat in time and give him a bath directly if convenient. After gently wiping off any excess water from your body, it is best to let your skin air dry naturally.

○ Clothes that are too tight can easily make the baby hotter. Loose, breathable and sweat-absorbent clothes are best.

○ Prickly heat does not necessarily cause itching, but some babies will scratch it vigorously because of the itch. If the baby scratches too much and the skin is scratched, becomes red, swollen, or even festering, it is necessary to see a doctor to prevent serious skin infection.

eczema

○If the baby suffers from eczema, the mother should avoid eating fish, shrimp, crab, eggs and spicy food during breastfeeding, and also avoid drinking alcohol.

○ The child’s diet should be regular and quantitative, and it is best to eat breast milk. If the child is given milk, add more water and less sugar, and boil the milk a little longer. In addition, if the child has indigestion, he or she should receive timely treatment.

○ Usually, babies should be dressed in soft, loose cotton or fine fabric underwear, and chemical fiber fabrics should be avoided. In addition, woolen fabrics and woolen clothes should be avoided for both inner and outer clothes.

○ Before the child goes to sleep, the baby's hands should be properly restrained to prevent the baby from scratching the skin.
