Are there many rashes, spots, or bumps on the body that suddenly appear as a result of a skin disease? It is not only skin diseases that can cause skin symptoms, some allergies, infectious diseases or other physical reactions can also show some skin symptoms. Eczema Children with eczema may also have allergic diseases such as asthma. Children with eczema have dry skin, significant itching, and thickened skin. Atopic dermatitis is the most common type of eczema. Some children can grow out of eczema or have milder symptoms as they get older. Ringworm Worms are not the cause of ringworm. This skin infection is caused by a fungus that lives 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-shaped lump that also has blisters and 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 managed with topical antifungal medications. Erythema infectiosum This is also an infectious disease, but its symptoms are usually mild and resolve themselves within a few weeks of the onset of the disease. The disease may initially present 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 infection with the virus of 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 it 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, this vaccine is recommended for adolescents and adults who have never had chickenpox or who meet the indications for chickenpox vaccination. Heat rash (prickly heat) It occurs as a result of blocked sweat glands. Heat rash looks like a small red or pink rash, usually on the child’s head, neck and shoulders. Heat rash is not only caused by hot weather, but also by well-meaning parents who dress their children too warmly. Sometimes, it’s normal to feel your child’s hand even though it feels a little cold. Contact dermatitis Contact dermatitis is a skin reaction usually caused by contact with a substance, such as food, soap, or a vegetable oil such as ivy, lacquer, or oak. The rash usually begins within 48 hours of exposure to the reaction-causing substance. A few cases can be a mild redness of the skin followed by a red lump, and severe reactions may result in swelling, redness, and severe edema. Contact dermatitis is usually mild and resolves on its own when exposure to the reactive object is stopped. Hand, foot, and mouth disease This disease is very common. In infectious children, the disease begins with a fever followed by pain around the mouth and a non-itchy rash with blisters on the hands and feet, sometimes followed by the buttocks and legs. The disease can be spread through coughing, sneezing and used textiles. Therefore, frequent hand washing or washing hands immediately after an act of contact can prevent transmission. Home management options may include using ibuprofen or acetaminophen to reduce fever and drinking plenty of water. Serious cases of the disease are rare, and infants and children under two years of age need special attention. The disease usually resolves on its own within a week or so. Urticaria (rubella) Rashes of hives are usually itchy or have a burning or painful sensation. They can appear on any part of the body. When hives are accompanied by difficulty in breathing or facial swelling, they are likely to suggest the severity of the disease. Drugs (such as penicillin), foods (such as eggs, nuts and seafood shellfish), food additives, excessive high fever, and certain infectious diseases can all cause hives. Urticaria is usually treated by way of antihistamines. If the hives are persistent or accompanied by other symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. Scarlet fever Scarlet fever is simply an inhalation illness caused by a streptococcal infection. Symptoms include a sore throat, fever, headache, abdominal pain, and swollen lymph in the neck. One to two days after the onset of the disease, a red rash begins to appear that feels like sandpaper to the touch, and the rash recedes after 7 to 14 days and is accompanied by significant flaking. Scarlet fever is very contagious, but frequent and regular hand washing can reduce its spread. If you think your child has this disease please seek medical attention immediately and treat with antibiotics promptly to avoid serious complications. Infantile roseola This is a mildly contagious disease. Infantile roseola is very common in children 6 months to 2 years of age and rare after 4 years of age. Symptoms include aspiration symptoms accompanied by a high fever that lasts for several days. The fever ends abruptly and a small pink flat rash, or small, raised bumps, appear on the skin. They are mainly found on the trunk and at the ends of the limbs.
