Question
My baby has started to develop red spots on the back of their thigh since last month. After using a moisturizer for a month, there has been no improvement. Recently, red spots have also appeared on the back of their neck, and several patchy red spots have formed. What could be the cause? Is it due to being bitten by insects?
Answer
Based on the description and careful observation of the photos, we believe it may be urticaria papulosa (a skin reaction caused by insect bites). For this condition, it should be checked whether it is caused by dust mites or indoor mites, and if so, control measures should be taken. For regional dermatitis, it is recommended to use an emollient cream locally.
