After reaching puberty, children are prone to acne on their faces, which is caused by endocrine factors. However, acne does not only occur during adolescence, people of any age can be troubled by acne. Even some infants and young children have acne on their faces. So, what's going on with pimples on the baby's face?
There are many reasons why babies have acne on their faces, and the most common ones are allergies, viral infections, and local inflammation. When parents notice pimples on their children's faces, they should observe the accompanying symptoms and seek targeted treatment after confirming the cause, rather than using medication indiscriminately.
If there is acne on the baby's face accompanied by fever, they should go to the hospital for a blood routine test to confirm the cause. Fever in children is usually related to viral infections, such as chickenpox, hand foot mouth disease, and eczema, all of which are caused by viruses. This requires going to the hospital for treatment, and the treatment time must not be delayed.
If a baby has acne on their face and there are no other symptoms, they should continue to observe. When a child's skin has symptoms such as secretions and itching, it is usually caused by eczema. Parents should pay attention to distinguishing their children's symptoms. If a child has recurrent fever, decreased appetite, vomiting, or other symptoms, they should immediately go to the hospital, preferably hospitalized for observation.
