What Is The Cause For Small Raised Dots On The Upper Arms And Legs?

My almost two year old has had small raised dots on his upper arms and legs for some time now which have not seemed to bother him until recently I've noticed him scratching/picking his arm......any idea if this is something to treat or is it an anotomical anomaly?

Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM. May be you heard that most changes of our skin depend from statement of our internal organs. There are different causes of red dots:
1.We should differentiate Staphylococcus aureus infection(throat culture, stool culture).
2.Allergic dermatitis(Ig E of blood).
3.Dysbiosis of intestine.
4.Contact dermatitis(synthetic clothes).
5.Rash due sweating and heat wave.
6.Strepthodemia
I suggest
-Consult dermatologist
-Get examine your child for following up
-Antihistamines(Cetirizine)
-Probiotic(Darolac 1 capsule once a day for 1 month for normal intestinal flora)
-Use only child's soap(Johnson's baby or other), do not overheat baby, wear only cotton.
Best regards
Dr.Svetlana Shrivastva
