Patient's question:
Seven-month-old baby, red spots appeared on the legs and then on the arms after a few days. Is this eczema or psoriasis? There is a history of psoriasis with generational inheritance in the family. The child is very itchy and has to scratch himself every night.Doctor's answer:
Psoriasis is a chronic, recurrent disease with a possibility of hereditary transmission across generations, but it is not absolute. Currently, the main believed triggers of psoriasis include hereditary factors, infectious factors, metabolic disorders, immune system dysfunction, and psychological factors. It is recommended to apply clobetasol propionate cream externally to the child twice a day. Avoid giving the child fish, shrimp, and other irritating foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
