Red spots and pimples on your baby's body can indicate several things. Firstly, it can be harmless, but requiring attention, sweating. Secondly, such a serious disease as allergies. If such symptoms occur, it is necessary to correctly distinguish one from the other and provide the necessary medical assistance.
Instructions
Step 1
Allergy is an increased sensitivity of the body to any external stimulus. In children, it can occur, most often, due to the excessive intake of allergenic products into the body: citrus fruits, strawberries, chocolate or other products that seem completely harmless. Usually, it begins to appear on the child's cheeks in the form of rather large red pimples and spots. The skin around them is quite thickened, and maybe slightly swollen. Allergies can often be accompanied by a fever.
Step 2
A baby's sweat occurs in places where the skin often sweats or sweats. For example, in various folds, on the baby's neck, on the bottom when it comes into contact with the diaper. Because of this, small reddish pimples appear there without obvious signs of an inflammatory process.
Step 3
These two diseases manifest themselves in almost the same way. But, in order to protect the baby, it is better to exclude allergies first. Remember what new things you ate yourself (in the case of breastfeeding) or gave him. Or maybe you just exceeded the allowable amount of any regular food. Eliminate the possible allergen from his diet.
Step 4
Remember that only an experienced pediatrician can reliably establish the reasons for such a reaction on the baby's skin. Therefore, when the first signs appear, be sure to seek help from a doctor. He will conduct a thorough examination, consider the baby's dietary habits and, if necessary, give referrals to an allergist. And he will already prescribe the correct medication.
Step 5
Without seeking help from a pediatrician and self-medication, you risk the health of your child. After all, allergy is a rather dangerous disease that can cause serious consequences and even death.
