What Causes Small Bumps On Outer Side Of A Child S Palms?

my daughter is 3 years old, soon to be 4. Tonight when I was putting her to bed, I noticed small bumps on the outer side of her palms, almost to the outer side of her hand. It wasn t there earlier today and I m not sure what could be causing it. I have dermatitis on the palm off my right had, so I asked if the bumps were itchy, and she said no. So, what could be causing this. She has no other symptoms, so I m stunned.

Hello,

Check for progress, it can be an insect bite or an allergic reaction. If no itching or pain, then it will subside by itself. If progressing, then see for color changes or any pus collection beneath the skin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
