Red pimples on baby's face and hands

Babies' constitutions are naturally weaker than those of adults. Their bodies are not yet fully developed, so their immunity is also lower. Some babies may have allergic symptoms due to genetics or other reasons. Therefore, parents must pay attention to taking good care of their babies. Some babies will have red bumps on their hands. This is most likely due to allergies to external things. Let’s take a look at what’s going on with the red bumps on the baby’s face and hands?

What causes red bumps on baby's body in spring?

Scarlet fever

1. Cause: The rash of scarlet fever usually appears on the second day of fever, first appearing on the neck, armpits, and groin, and will spread throughout the body within 24 hours. On the basis of diffuse congestion and flushing of the skin all over the body, there are evenly dense and widely distributed small red rashes, which look like goose bumps and feel like sandpaper. The rash will disappear when pressed with hands, but will reappear when you release your hands.

2. Recommendation: The rash of scarlet fever does not cause obvious itching. During the acute phase of the disease, the baby should rest in bed, drink plenty of water, and keep the skin clean. Older babies can rinse their mouths with warm salt water. Liquid or semi-liquid food is preferred.

Precautions

1. In order to prevent your baby from having food allergies, when you start trying new foods, you must start with a small amount and gradually increase the amount. If there is no allergy, add another new food after 7-10 days. If the baby is too obese and is fed too much or too often, the amount and frequency of feeding should be controlled.

2. In order to prevent the sick baby from accumulating too much fluid in the body and aggravating the disease, the sick child’s food should contain less salt. If the baby is constipated, honey can be given as appropriate to prevent allergic food from staying in the intestines for too long.

3. The itching caused by the red bumps on the baby's body in spring not only brings physical and mental pain to the sick baby, but repeated scratching may also cause secondary infection of the affected skin. Common symptoms include Staphylococcus aureus skin infection.
