Patient's question:
The baby is three years old and has developed red spots on their wrists and arms. The doctor said it's a case of sandpaper dermatitis, and they have been applying medication for over ten days. They had a fever and took fever-reducing medicine to sleep. Just now, after sleeping well, they noticed on their right hand, which weren't there when they were sleeping. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
This has been confirmed as sand and dust dermatitis, and it can be treated with calamine lotion. When it itches, use an antihistamine. After a full night's sleep, I noticed dense red spots on my right hand, which weren't there when I was sleeping. It could be caused by an allergic reaction, so it's best to avoid eating fish and shrimp. At the same time, take calcium supplements, vitamin C, and other nutrients.After the baby has a fever, if red spots reappear, it could be due to roseola, measles, or rubella, which are caused by viral infections. It's best to consult with a pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment.
