Question
During hot weather, do the red rashes that appear on children’s bodies have a raised appearance? Is this condition pediatric roseola pox, or could it be atopic dermatitis or heat rash?
Answer
In hot weather, the rashes that appear on children’s bodies may be caused by atopic dermatitis or heat rash, rather than pediatric roseola pox. Pediatric roseola pox is a contagious disease caused by a viral infection, usually accompanied by fever. If the child does not have a fever, allergic factors should be considered first. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a routine blood test to determine if there is an acute inflammation. If diagnosed as a simple allergic factor, medication can be applied to help recover.
