Small rash on hands

Skin rashes are most common in young children. Due to their physical constitution and their limited resistance, children are most susceptible to skin allergies. Skin rashes may lead to viral infection on the skin and may even cause local transmission. Therefore, parents need to pay attention to the rash and must treat it with medication. Do not deliberately wait for the condition to recover.

The rash itself may look scary, but it is usually harmless because:

It will naturally disappear within two or three days.

Rashes usually appear in the later stages of the disease and when you see them, it means that the disease is about to recover.

No medication is required.

Viral infections often cause rashes, while bacterial infections rarely cause rashes. Viral diseases are mostly benign diseases that will heal on their own. Sometimes babies have already received measles vaccination, so why do they still get rashes? Or the baby has already had a rash, why does he have a rash again? This is because many rashes look similar but are caused by different viral infections.

At present, the country attaches great importance to the health care of young children, and many preventive vaccinations are being carried out, so as long as the baby is vaccinated on time, he should not be infected with the same virus again.

Roseola infantum, also known as fever rash or roseola, is a sudden rash caused by a viral infection. It can occur throughout the year, but is more common in spring and autumn. It is common in babies between 6 months and 1 year old.

The incubation period of roseola infantum is approximately 10 to 15 days. Although it is a contagious disease, it is very safe and will not spread as widely as measles or chickenpox. The chance of family members being infected at the same time is low.

symptom:

The baby first has a high fever that lasts for 3 to 4 days, with a body temperature between 39 and 40 degrees. After the fever subsides, a rash quickly appears all over the body, and the rash disappears quickly, without desquamation or pigmentation. These babies also have fever before the rash appears, and the fever can be quite high, but the symptoms of a cold are not obvious. Their spirits, appetite, etc. are all good (this is very similar to your baby). The throat may be a little red, and the lymph nodes in the neck and occipital region can be felt, but there is no tenderness. There are no other symptoms or physical signs. When the body temperature is about to subside or has already subsided and a rose-red rash appears all over the body, people suddenly realize that the roseola infantum is almost over. Roseola infantum has no effect on the baby's health, and once it occurs, the baby will be immune for life.
