Why Are There Little Red Spots on My Babys Skin That Cause Itching?

Some babies may develop small red spots on their bodies, and they may constantly scratch their skin, indicating the presence of itching symptoms. When babies develop red spots and itching, timely and targeted treatment is necessary. It is important to identify the underlying cause of the condition before treatment begins. Maintaining good skin hygiene, frequently changing and washing clothing, and avoiding spicy and stimulating foods for breastfeeding mothers are also recommended. What causes red spots and itching on babies? Let's take a closer look.

One possible cause of red spots and itching on babies is eczema, which is often caused by intolerance or allergies to ingested, inhaled, or contacted substances.

Baby eczema, also known as "fetal toxin" or "milk eczema", is a common skin disease in infancy. It is an allergic disease caused by various internal and external factors, and is most commonly seen in babies aged 1 to 3 months. The causes of baby eczema can be complex, including external irritants to the baby's skin, indigestion, and inherited allergic tendencies. Baby eczema is a common allergic skin inflammation caused by internal and external factors. It is characterized by polymorphic lesions with a tendency to weep and recur, alternating between acute and chronic stages, accompanied by severe itching. The cause is often difficult to determine.

Baby eczema typically appears on the face, neck, forehead, and even the scalp of babies, especially behind the ears. Sometimes it can also occur on the buttocks. The lesions are usually small red bumps, some of which may have a white appearance, resembling pimples. They can be very itchy and may be distributed sparsely or in clusters on the baby's skin. Some newborns may also have symptoms of fever, but this is generally rare. The symptoms of baby eczema may not appear suddenly. They may start with one or two lesions, which may recur after subsiding. Alternatively, several lesions may appear initially and gradually increase in number, and in some cases, the eczema may become severe enough to produce pus.
