Doctor's answer:
Red bumps and small blisters reappear on the skin, accompanied by itching. It is suspected to be a symptom of allergic dermatitis. It is recommended to seek immediate medical attention for a thorough examination and treatment. Delaying treatment may lead to spreading and make it more stubborn and difficult to treat. Avoid consuming irritants and allergenic foods (such as seafood, shrimp, crabs, spicy, and fried foods) in daily life. Reduce intake of protein-rich foods like milk and soy milk. Do not scratch the affected area. You can soak your feet in hot water with sulfur soap. Avoid exposure to sunlight or smoking.The above advice is for the question "Why do red patches reappear on a 16-month-old baby's face?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
