Suggest Remedy For Flat Red Spots On The Legs
Hi, my baby is 14 months old. He has three flat red spots on his legs that appear to be slightly larger each day. They don t seem to be bothering him in anyway yet, but he has been a little more cranky lately. He was exposed to someone with chicken pox a few days ago but the spots showed up that day and I assume he cant catch it that quickly. Its been only those three spots so far.

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have symptoms of flat red spots on the legs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction, angiomas , acne, eczema, psoriasis and due to certain systemic pathology. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper hygiene. You should consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin test or allergy test along with blood test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment. You should drink plenty of fluids. You should take antihistamine like benadryl and avoid applying any cosmetic , apply only petroleum jelly .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
