Of course, the final diagnosis and treatment advice is still subject to the doctor’s recommendation. Next, we will share with parents what are the common skin diseases in children? 1. Ringworm Worms are not the cause of ringworm. This skin infection is caused because the fungus survives in dead skin, hair and nail tissue. It starts as a small red spot with some small scales coming off the dry skin and gradually develops into an itchy raised red ring-like lump that will also blister and have scaly edges. Ringworm can be spread by skin-to-skin contact or through shared items, and humans and animals can spread it to each other. Most ringworm infections can be treated with topical antifungal medications. 2. Infectious Erythema This is also an infectious disease, but its symptoms are usually mild and will heal on their own within a few weeks of becoming ill. The disease may initially appear as flu-like symptoms, followed by a rash on the cheeks and body. The disease can be spread by coughing and sneezing, and is most contagious in the week before the rash appears. When sick, children should get plenty of rest, eat a liquid-based diet, relieve pain, and watch for more severe symptoms to appear. Since the virus that infects this disease may affect the fetus, consult your doctor if your child has this disease at home and you are pregnant. Chickenpox Although chickenpox is a very common disease, many adults have had this disease when they were young. It is very contagious and spreads very easily. The skin symptoms are mainly an itchy rash, red spots or blisters that spread throughout the body. The skin symptoms of chickenpox go through several stages: blistering, rupture, crusting, and shedding. The disease can also cause serious complications, such as pneumonia, brain damage, and even death. People who develop chickenpox may also be at risk of developing shingles in the future. Varicella virus vaccination is recommended as an effective way to prevent this disease. In addition to school-age children, the vaccine is recommended for adolescents and adults who have never had chickenpox or who meet the indications for chickenpox vaccination. 4. Impetigo It is usually caused by staphylococcus or streptococcus and is contagious. The main manifestation is a red rash or blisters on the surface of the skin. After the blisters break, the pus will slowly ooze out and develop into a yellowish-brown scab. Symptoms can occur anywhere on the body, but are usually found around the mouth and nose. Impetigo can be spread to others through close contact or by sharing objects, such as towels and toys. It can also be spread to other parts of the body through scratching because of the itchy rash and blisters. The disease can be managed by using antibiotics (internal or external).
