When summer comes, babies often have a bag here today and a small pimple there tomorrow. Some are itchy, some are red, and some seem to feel nothing.
What are these bags that the baby grows?
Today, Dr. Yu Jia from the dermatology department was invited to help us answer our questions.
Mosquito bag
It’s getting hot, mosquitoes are everywhere, and babies will inevitably suffer.
Generally speaking, two kinds of mosquito bags often appear on babies.
The first type: ordinary mosquito bag
Generally, after being bitten by mosquitoes, a small skin color or reddish bulge bag will soon appear on the skin, which is very itchy at that time and will mostly subside after half an hour or an hour, which is called wind mass.
What should I do?
This mosquito bag can be left untreated, and it can be cold applied with a towel for a while when it itches at most.
The second type: delayed mosquito bag
This mosquito bag is also called papular urticaria, which usually lasts for a long time, about 2-7 days, and some will become red, swollen and enlarged in the previous few days, even appearing hard pimples and small blisters. Most of them are itchy and look a little scary.
At this time, many mothers will smear some mosquito-bitten care products or toilet water on their babies, and some will smear white vinegar and salt water. In fact, these practices are not only ineffective, but may even partially lead to aggravation of rash.
What should I do?
1. Apply mosquito repellent water to prevent
Of course, the best prevention and control method is to take all kinds of mosquito repellent and mosquito prevention measures for the baby, such as smearing some mosquito repellent water on the exposed small arms and legs of the baby to prevent accidents before they occur.
Step 2 Apply hormone ointment
If you have already got up, you can apply some hormone ointment under the guidance of a professional doctor, which can take effect in 2-3 days.
Prickly heat
It’s hot, the baby sweats a lot and has more prickly heat.
Often said prickly heat, in fact, is after the baby sweats a lot, the skin appears many sparkling small blisters or flaky erythema small hill herpes.
What should I do?
1. Change clothes frequently and keep cool.
If there is no prickly heat, when the baby is found to be sweating too much, try to reduce the temperature in the room, change clothes for the baby in time, and try to choose close-fitting clothes with good air permeability and water absorption.
Step 2: Choose a cool environment
If prickly heat has already developed, most of the time you can leave your baby in a cool place for a few days without drugs. Most of these blisters or rashes can be absorbed and subsided by yourself.
Some will peel off in the later period, so it is good to pay attention to local moisturizing and moisturizing during peeling.
3. It is not recommended to apply too much powder.
First, it is not convenient to observe rash changes. Second, although the powder can promote blister absorption in the early stage, it will lead to excessive skin dryness and itching in the later stage.
4. Seek medical treatment in time
If pustules occur, seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
Eczema
Eczema can occur almost every season.
Many mothers are not sure how to distinguish prickly heat from eczema. Here is a brief introduction to the difference between the two. However, if the baby’s condition is serious, mothers are not encouraged to draw their own conclusions. It is more appropriate to seek help from a doctor in time.
- Prickly heat: usually occurs in hot sweating more time, mostly needle tip size, sparkling small blisters, onset time is short, generally in a cool place to stay for 2 ~ 3 days to subside. Eczema: generally attack time will be longer, looks like erythema and small pimples, it is difficult to appear sparkling small blisters, mostly dry, rough, strengthen moisturizing can be improved.
Let’s talk about eczema again. Eczema grows in summer, which is often related to too hot, sun exposure, excessive cleaning and insufficient moisture retention in a certain part of the body. However, due to the humid climate in many places in summer, the incidence rate of eczema is relatively low.
What should I do?
1. Avoid being too hot, dress cool and keep moisture
In life, you can avoid putting your baby in a too hot environment, avoiding sun exposure and clothing friction, choosing refreshing and breathable clothes for your baby to wear, and paying attention to moisturizing, all of which can effectively reduce the onset of eczema.
2. Seek medical treatment in time and persist in treatment.
If the baby’s face and body injuries have large erythema, small red envelopes, yellow water, etc., parents are advised to take them to the hospital for doctors to judge the condition and carry out appropriate treatment.
Eczema is a disease that may recur. Parents need not worry too much. Follow the doctor’s advice and stick to treatment. Most of them will get better.
Urticaria
Urticaria looks a bit like mosquito bags and is easily confused.
However, mosquito bags usually subside quickly, while urticaria will recur and itch. Sometimes the baby will feel itchy continuously before even seeing the rash attack.
What should I do?
Step 1: Cold compress
If urticaria attacks, you can immediately use a cold towel to apply cold compress to the baby at the place where the rash occurs. It is good to apply it for a few minutes, not too long. This can not only help relieve itching, but also promote vasoconstriction and help the rash recover.
If you use ice bags, be careful not to keep ice in the same place to avoid frostbite.
Step 2 Stay away from sensitizing factors
If the baby has recurrent attacks of suspected urticaria, it is necessary to think about whether he has recently come into contact with obvious allergenic factors in what, such as colds, diarrhea-related infections, special oral drugs, seafood or foods rarely eaten at ordinary times, more dust and pollen, etc.
If so, we must try our best to avoid it.
3. Seek medical treatment in time
If a large number of rashes throughout the body recur and always feel itchy, the baby scratches badly, the cold compress effect is not good, or the baby obviously has throat discomfort, breathing is affected, and even sleep is affected, it is recommended to see a doctor immediately to avoid laryngeal edema and other dangerous situations.
See here, parents are more confident about all kinds of pimples on the baby’s body?
Of course, it is not to say that with today’s article, parents can see the baby by themselves, but to hope that after the baby has a problem, we can have a basic judgment, and then we can handle it at home and properly handle it. If it is beyond our own handling ability, we must go to the hospital.
