Patient's question:
Because of the hot weather, my daughter has developed many small red rashes on her body. I see her feeling uncomfortable and crying very hard every day, which worries me. When applying the medicine, I noticed the rashes are quite prominent, so I'm wondering if it's characteristic of roseola for the rashes to be raised and if it can be treated?Doctor's answer:
Due to the body rash caused by seasonal temperature increases, it could be allergic eczema or heat rash. If there are no fever symptoms, it can be ruled out as roseola. Roseola is a contagious viral infection. First, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a blood test to determine if there is acute inflammation. If it is simply an allergic reaction, it can gradually recover with topical medication.
