What Causes Red Spots On The Leg And Abdomen In An Infant?
Question: Hello doctor, my daughter is 10 months now. Since 2-3 days we are seeing some red spots on her leg and stomach portion. What it is? I am sending you the pic captured.
Brief Answer:
This is Eczema - I have suggested the treatment options
Detailed Answer:
Hi... I understand your concern.
This is eczema. It is a sort of skin allergy which is common in this age group. Dryness of the skin aggravates the condition.
The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Atogla will help.
Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and difficult to be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
