Question
A one-year-old baby occasionally experiences red spots on the bottom of their feet. Previous checks suggested a possibility of hemangioma, but as the spots appear and disappear at times, the doctor could not confirm the diagnosis. Moreover, blood routine tests have shown normal results.
Answer
The baby may have Henoch-Schönlein purpura, a condition that is prone to recurrence and difficult to cure. It is also necessary to be aware of possible inflammation and infection, as well as abnormalities such as thrombocytopenia. It is recommended to visit the pediatric department of the hospital for further examination, including recheck blood routine tests, and treatment can be initiated after a confirmed diagnosis. If streptococcal infection is detected, antibiotics such as penicillin can be used according to the situation, and it is advised not to self-administer other medications.
