Childhood rash is a common disease in children, also known as rose rash, which has a certain degree of infectivity. Therefore, healthy children should never come into contact with children with rash to avoid being infected. Many parents and friends believe that children's rashes do not itch, but seeing them scratching their skin all the time, they start to wonder in their hearts. So, is the child experiencing a rash or itching?
From a medical perspective, infantile rash is a self-healing condition. The appearance of a rash is a manifestation of the elimination of heat toxins from the body, rather than caused by skin diseases. Therefore, the rash in children itself is not itchy. If the baby unconsciously scratches the rash area, it is likely due to wearing too much clothing, which prevents the heat from being expelled and causes itching. At this point, it is necessary to reduce some clothing appropriately, and then use mouth blowing to relieve itching. Generally speaking, rash is not particularly itchy, so babies can withstand it.
If your baby experiences scratching rash, be sure to stop it in a timely manner. If scratched at the rash site, it is easy to leave scars, and in severe cases, there is a possibility of purulent infection. To avoid the occurrence of rash and itching, parents should bathe their babies every day and avoid wearing clothes that are too tight. Failure to dissipate heat properly can cause rash and itching. The rash itself does not itch and will disappear on its own after three to four days. If it causes itching and scratches due to personal reasons, more serious problems may arise, affecting the health of the baby.
During the period of infantile rash, good care is sufficient, and dietary care is also important. Firstly, nutrition is the key aspect of infant diet, and it is necessary to ensure nutrition to enhance resistance and immunity. It is recommended that mothers breastfeed their children during the period of sudden rash, as breast milk has higher nutritional value. Secondly, it is mainly easy to digest. On the basis of ensuring nutrition, it is essential to consume easily digestible foods. If a baby experiences constipation, it can cause loss of appetite. Finally, it is essential to drink plenty of water.
From this, it can be seen that pediatric rash itself does not itch, but some children may feel itchy mainly due to wearing too much clothing. If the child cannot resist scratching the affected area, parents and friends must stop it to avoid leaving scars or causing skin infections. In addition, during the period of rash, parents and friends must do a good job in related nursing work.
