A rash on the baby's skin can signal serious illness. It also appears with prickly heat, allergic reactions and insect bites. To help the baby, you need to determine the cause of the inflammation of the skin.
Prickly heat
Prickly heat is a small red rash that appears on the baby's body as a result of overheating of the body, mainly in the hot season. It can be especially abundant in those places where the skin of the crumbs is least ventilated - near the groin or gluteal regions, on the popliteal or elbow folds, as well as on the lower back and neck. Miliaria is not a cause for concern; it usually does not cause any discomfort to children. To get rid of it, you need to take air baths as often as possible, be sure to bathe the baby several times a day using baby soap, and also lubricate the inflamed skin with special creams. Despite the fact that prickly heat on the legs of the crumbs does not itch and does not cause painful sensations, it cannot be started, since the bubbles can become infected.
In case of infection of the bubbles of prickly heat, the liquid in them acquires a yellowish-white tint, and there is no way to do without the intervention of a doctor.
Allergies and animal bites
A fairly common cause of a rash on the legs of a baby is an allergic reaction, which can occur as a result of taking allergic products, medications, as well as direct contact with allergens - pollen, dust, wool, etc. Its hallmarks are characteristic rashes all over the body, mainly on the pope, cheeks, and abdomen. They are usually accompanied by lacrimation, profuse runny nose and itching. In the summertime, children's feet can be exposed to numerous mosquito bites. In their place, itchy blisters appear, which eventually turn into a dense papule, which lasts for about 2-3 days. If the child has been bitten by bugs, then on the limbs of the crumbs, linearly located papules will be visible, which cause itching.
If the cause of the rash on the legs is an allergy, you should contact your pediatrician. He will prescribe tests to identify the allergen, and also draw up a course of treatment for the crumbs.
Dangerous rash
If small pustular pimples appear on the child's legs, this may be evidence of vesiculopustulosis, an inflammatory disease caused by streptococci, staphylococci and Escherichia coli. Such a rash is smeared with brilliant green, but before that, you must definitely consult a doctor. Also, a rash on the legs can be a manifestation of scarlet fever, measles, chickenpox or rubella. Most often, the child's temperature rises, lethargy and fatigue are observed.
