Parents noticed red dots around their child's mouth, which had not appeared on their face before. When faced with red spots on a child's face, parents may think that the child is allergic or suspect that the child has eczema on their body. For a moment, I couldn't figure out the reason for the abnormal skin around the child's mouth. What is the red dot around the child's mouth?
A red dot around a child's mouth may indicate an allergy. When a child eats allergenic food or comes into contact with allergens, red dots appear around their mouth. If there are only red spots around the mouth and no other areas, it may also be dermatitis, caused by certain irritating foods that can irritate the skin. Dermatitis can recover on its own after a few days.
Red spots around a child's mouth may also be a sign of eczema, which is related to allergies or residue left around the mouth after drinking milk or eating. If not wiped clean in a timely manner, it can cause irritation to the skin. Children with sensitive skin are prone to eczema. Additionally, it could be hand, foot, and mouth disease.
The specific reason needs to be determined based on the child's physical condition. To understand the cause, you can take the child to the hospital for examination. Parents need to control their children's hands and avoid them frequently touching or scratching around their mouths, otherwise the red spots will become more and more severe. If necessary, some topical ointment can be applied appropriately.
