The child had red spots on his face - what could it be?

Parents daily face a lot of questions on the care of the child, his upbringing and caring for the baby. It is not always possible to keep track of everything that happens to the baby. In such cases, mothers begin to reproach themselves and are very worried that they could not prevent the child from falling, fear, excitement, illness, etc. However, this manifestation of the same evolutionary theory: the child and mother are gaining experience and in the future do not repeat the committed errors.

But, you see, it's one thing when a child falls, clinging to a chair: you see the result of an "error", and the reason that led to it. And quite another thing, when only the result of "error" is noticeable: one has to speculate on its causes, which sometimes is not easy. In such cases, do not be afraid to seek help, because it depends on the baby's well-being.

Here, for example, the baby has red spots on his face. What should mom do? It is important to understand that the smaller the child, the higher the risk of harming the baby with various methods of self-medication and especially ignoring the problem.

If red spots appear on the face , even a doctor without special diagnostic procedures will not always be able to put a correct diagnosis with absolute certainty, since there are a lot of reasons for this phenomenon. What can I say about you, not related to medicine man. But the role of mother should not be underestimated: it is she who can tell about what the baby contacted, how long the spots appeared, how the child behaved during this period - in short, the mother paints the picture of "illness", the doctor extracts from her story important for staging Diagnosis of the moments, examines the child and prescribes treatment procedures.

Let's return to our question. On his face appeared red spots - what can they signal? Such skin phenomena can be observed in allergic reactions, infectious diseases, hereditary diseases, changing temperature conditions, changing climatic conditions, disturbing the functions of the vegetative system. In addition, the appearance of spots and rashes can be a reflection of failures in the functioning of internal organs (intestines, kidneys, liver, etc.). In the simplest cases, a situation where red spots appeared on the face could provoke an insect bite.

A significant proportion of skin reactions appear as a result of the actions of irritating factors (in simple terms, allergies occur ). On the face, red spots can occur as a response to food allergens. This can happen even with newborn babies who are breastfeeding, if the mother does not adhere to a special diet. What should be done in such cases? Exclude from the diet citrus, chocolate, nuts, fish dishes, coffee, smoked meat, strawberries, honey, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, eggplants, etc.

In addition to food allergies, there may be a reaction to care products (soap, powder, which is used to wash clothes, powder, etc.) and taking medications.

If the red spots on the face of the baby (and older children) disappear after excluding the irritating factor, then, obviously, you are faced with allergies. Carefully review the conditions of hygienic procedures and the diet of the baby (and your own if you are breastfeeding) to prevent the occurrence of an allergy in the future.

The appearance of red spots on the face can be associated with the body's reaction to a change in the temperature regime and the change of the pore of the year. So, the winter, autumn and spring period becomes problematic in the sense that a person develops, as people say, an allergy to cold. The face and open areas of the body are covered with red spots that itch. Poor people have to wrap themselves up and down to minimize the harmful effects of cold.

The appearance of red spots on the skin can be associated with infectious diseases (measles, rubella, scarlet fever). In such cases, medical care is indispensable.

What else can skin rashes be associated with:

• Chicken pox (throughout the body there are transparent blisters, which after a few days burst and leave behind an itchy scab)
• Infectious erythema (a bright drop appears on the cheeks, although the orbit portion remains pale),
• Erythema nodosum (red, swollen spots appear on the face, legs, forearms).

In addition to these problems, the appearance of spots on the face and body can indicate such problems as systemic lupus, dermatomyositis, viral hepatitis, pink lichen, psoriasis. And this is only part of those diseases, the manifestation of which is the appearance of red spots on the face and body. Therefore, one should not reduce everything to diathesis and engage in self-medication, using advertised drugs. The right decision is a visit to a doctor who specializes in child health issues.
