Patient's question:
A four-year-old girl has many small red spots on her legs and feels a bit of leg pain, but she doesn't know what's wrong. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for small red bumps, so it's important to treat them accordingly~ They are not congenital, it could be an allergy, and you need to take the appropriate medication while finding the allergen. It could also be a lack of vitamins, so you can supplement with B vitamins appropriately, eat more vegetables, and drink more milk. The water temperature when showering should be kept around 40℃. In winter, many people prefer to use hot water, thinking it's more comfortable. However, hot water easily removes "oils" and also washes away too much skin oil. When the body leaves the hot water, the moisture on the skin surface evaporates immediately, taking away the skin's moisture as well. This is especially harmful for "chicken skin."
