Question
Red spots have appeared on my child’s legs, not painful or itchy, and there is a spreading to the thigh and lower arm. What could this be?
Answer
Red spots on a child’s legs could be caused by an allergy. It is suggested to give the baby antiallergic medication such as loratadine syrup. It is recommended to keep the baby’s diet light and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Avoid using hot water to bathe the baby to prevent exacerbating the symptoms, and encourage the baby to exercise more to enhance resistance. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly.
