Many parents, when changing clothes for their babies, will find patches of red dots appearing on their bodies, especially many, which look very scary. Mothers don't know what the reason is, so they are very scared, afraid that their babies may have some kind of illness, so they take their babies to the hospital for examination. Now let's unveil this mysterious veil and see what's going on with the sudden red dots on the baby's body?
What's the reason for the sudden red spots on the baby's body?
1. Innate allergic constitution: Eczema is related to genetic factors. Some babies are born with an allergic constitution, and most protein containing foods can often cause skin allergies and eczema in these babies, such as milk, eggs, fish, meat, shrimp, crabs, etc.
2. The stimulation of postnatal factors: Inhaling chemical dust, aerosols, fungal spores, plant pollen, plant volatiles, dust mites, feathers, animal fur debris, etc. in the air can also stimulate babies and cause allergies.
3. Red spots on the body caused by prickly heat: Infants are more prone to prickly heat, which is also a type of sweat rash. It is a needle sized red rash that can cause itching and often appears on the baby's forehead, neck, back, and other areas that are prone to sweating.
How to take care of red spots on babies for unknown reasons?
1. When bathing a baby, it is advisable to use warm water and non alkaline bath products to clean the baby's body. Babies with rashes should pay special attention to cleaning the folds of their skin.
2. Baby's hair should also be washed daily. If you have seborrheic dermatitis, carefully washing your head can remove the scab. If the scab has hardened and stuck to the head, you can apply olive oil to the affected area first and wash it later.
3. Parents should regularly pay attention to changes in temperature and humidity around their babies. Babies with contact dermatitis should especially avoid exposing their skin to cold air or strong sunlight.
4. In summer, after babies sweat from exercise, they should be carefully wiped dry; When the weather is cold and dry, it is recommended to apply non oily moisturizer that prevents allergies to the baby.
Through the above introduction, I believe everyone should understand the question 'What's the reason for the sudden appearance of red spots on babies?'. If a child has red spots on their body, parents should let them rest at home and preferably not play outdoors to avoid cross infection. Young mothers should not rush to apply medication to their children when encountering such situations. They can go to the hospital to take a look.
