What to do if a 6-year-old child has red bumps and itchy skin

Children's skin is much more fragile than that of adults, which makes it easy for them to have skin problems. Especially when seasons change, children may develop skin problems such as eczema and allergies. But for a six-year-old child, parents are very worried because they cannot use medication indiscriminately before the cause of the disease is found. Let’s take a look at how to solve the itchy red bumps on a 6-year-old child’s body.

1. First of all, you must pay attention to the child's hygiene. Give the child a bath in time and expose the quilt to the sun frequently. Because the child's skin is very delicate and prone to problems, special attention must be paid.

2. When children go out, they should also pay attention to sun protection. It is best to use physical sun protection, which will cause less harm to the baby.

3. You can also give your child some food supplements. At this time, you can eat more foods that reduce heat, such as watermelon, mung bean soup, etc., and try to eat more porridge and drink more soup.

4. If you have some prickly heat, you can wipe the affected area with floral water. If your baby has prickly heat, the floral water should be diluted before wiping it, and then sprinkle some talcum powder on the body after taking a bath.

5. Some friends may suffer from eczema, which is also quite common. It occurs not only in summer but may recur in any season. It is recommended to go to a specialist hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

6. The most common cause of this symptom in babies is allergic urticaria. It is directly related to one's allergic constitution or contact with allergic substances. The treatment method is to choose external application of Wuji ointment, etc. In daily life, it is best not to eat foods that are prone to allergies, such as fish and shrimp.

7. First of all, don’t scratch randomly to avoid breaking the skin and causing infection. For treatment, you can use 2%~3% boric acid, rinse it with boiling water, dip a small amount on a relatively clean gauze or sterilized cotton swab, and apply it to the affected area. Chinese medicine can use 20 grams of honeysuckle and 20 grams of dandelion, boil them into water, filter them after cooling, dip a little with a cool, wet towel, and slowly apply them to the affected area. Usually supplement more vitamins C, B1, and B6, and let your baby drink some orange juice appropriately.
