Patient's question:
Medical Description: Female patient, 20 years old, some bumps have appeared on the abdomen and body. I would like to ask if these are neonatal exanthem? Treatment history and effectiveness: Applied compound glycyrrhizinate. Desired help: I would like to know how to remove these bumps.Doctor's answer:
Many infants and young children suffer from eczema (diaper rash), which appears on their faces, necks, and bodies. When they sweat, the itching causes them to scratch and rub uncontrollably, leading to constant crying. Here’s a reminder for parents: first, avoid letting them scratch excessively to prevent the skin from breaking and becoming infected. For treatment, you can use a 2% to 3% boric acid solution, diluted with boiling water. Apply a small amount with clean gauze or sterilized cotton swabs to the affected area.For herbal remedies, you can use 20 grams of honeysuckle and 20 grams of dandelion, decoct them into water, let it cool, and then strain it. Soak a cool, damp towel with a little of the liquid and gently apply it to the affected area.
Additionally, supplement with vitamin C, B1, and B6, and offer your child some orange juice in moderation. Avoid using hot water or boiling water to wash the affected area.
