Question

My son is four months and four years old, and he has developed red rashes all over his body, with the face being particularly severe. It has been three days, and the calamine lotion used has not been effective. He has never had this before, and only gets heat rash in the summer. I would like to know the cause and treatment method.

Answer

Your child may have developed regional eczema, often accompanied by rashes and itching. It is recommended to use medication for treatment, maintain rest, and have a diet that is light, mild, and easy to digest. You can use eczema cream specifically designed for infants and young children, along with oral antihistamines such as cetirizine tablets, as well as vitamin C and calcium tablets. Avoid spicy and fried foods. I hope your child recovers soon.
