Patient's question:
Please have a look at what is growing on the child's body and what medicine needs to be applied. The newborn is 16 days old, and they are not wearing very thick clothes. What are the red bumps on the child's body?Doctor's answer:
There are many possible reasons for red bumps on a baby's body. The most common one is allergic urticaria, which occurs suddenly after consuming certain foods or medications, resulting in large, itchy hives all over the body. If the red bumps appear after a fever, it could be rubella, measles, or scarlet fever. If they are blister-like, it might be herpes or chickenpox. If large, patchy red rashes appear repeatedly over a long period, it could be rheumatism or systemic lupus erythematosus.
