Question
My baby has developed many bumps on their body recently, especially on the back, abdomen, neck, and legs, accompanied by itching, and there are similar symptoms on the face as well.
Answer
Based on the description, your baby’s condition may be eczema, often related to an allergic body. Treatment can involve a combination of internal and external traditional Chinese medicine methods. Internally, Chinese herbs can be used to clear heat and dampness, reduce swelling and relieve pain. Externally, apply traditional Chinese medicine ointments. If your child cannot take internal Chinese medicine, you can also brew a decoction with 20 grams of honeysuckle and 20 grams of Phellodendron amurense. Note that the water temperature should not be too high when taken internally to avoid discomfort.
