Patient's question:
What is the reason for the bumps on a 9-year-old child's elbow? How long does the treatment take to heal? Please help me! Is there any good method? Please give me some advice from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it can be identified as a manifestation of allergic skin disease. If it just started, it is recommended to take oral antihistamines such as Chlorpheniramine, Vitamin C, and Calcium Gluconate, and apply topical corticosteroid creams like Eczema Ointment (Note: corticosteroids should not be used long-term). After treatment, it will gradually recover, so there is no need to worry. In daily life, avoid external irritants and local irritation as much as possible. Do not scratch, do not rub vigorously, and avoid hot water or soapy washing. Avoid alcohol, strong tea, or coffee. Do not eat acidic, spicy dishes, or other irritating foods. During flare-ups, avoid foods that are prone to cause allergies, such as yellow croaker, shrimp, seafood, etc.
