Patient's question:
My child is one year old. A few days ago, some small red spots appeared on their body, with the neck being the most severe. They don't have a fever or a cold. Please ask what this is.Doctor's answer:
What you mentioned includes one possibility of heat rash caused by high temperature, and the other is allergic purpura. The characteristics of purpura are symmetrical distribution and appearance in batches, with severe cases extending to the upper limbs and torso. It is more likely to be heat rash. You can first give the baby a bath and then apply some talcum powder to see if it subsides. If it doesn't, it is recommended to rule out allergic purpura. It may also be viral herpes, so it is suggested to check and treat it.
