What Causes Red Spots On A Body Of A Baby?

My three month old has small flat smooth red spots appearing on his body. we thought the first was a broken blood vessel on his inner arm about half way up. But there are now three more - two on his cheeks and another on his other arm. What causes them and can we do anything? They disappear under a glass and he has no other symptoms and is eating and sleeping well.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have symptoms of red spots on body which seems to be due to allergic reaction, sudden reaction from allergens, due to poor immunity of body and instant response of body to certain stimulus. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with intake of antihistamine medication such as benadryl. Drink plenty of water. You can take Allegra as well and start application of clindamycin gel on these areas. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after complete examination. You can apply aloe vera gel on them as well. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Avoid touching or pricking skin with any sharp object.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
