Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. How do you treat diaper rash?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a child may develop a rash after a fever. The rash appears as the fever subsides, which is common in roseola. Roseola is very common clinically, with an incidence rate of over 90%. Infants aged 6 to 12 months are most affected, and 50% to 60% of patients develop the condition between 8 to 10 months of age. This is caused by a viral infection and typically appears during the recovery phase of the illness. It does not require treatment and does not need any topical applications—just maintaining cleanliness and hygiene is sufficient. The rash usually resolves on its own within about 2 days. Make sure to keep the child warm, ensure proper nutrition, and avoid crowded places.
