Patient's question:
The child is 19 months old. In the past two days, many small red, pointed bumps have appeared on his face, and his face is also quite red. It doesn't seem to be itchy, though he occasionally scratches it. What could be causing this?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is considered to be eczema, an inflammatory skin reaction caused by allergies. It is best to upload photos. If it is eczema, it is recommended that the child temporarily avoid fish, shrimp, and seafood. Clothing should be made of breathable cotton materials. Bedding should be washed and sunned frequently. The affected areas on the face can be treated with calamine lotion externally. The above suggestions are for the question "What is the reason for the many small red bumps on a 19-month-old child's face?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
