Small rash all over the child's back. Treatment of allergic dermatosis. Like a mosquito bite

(1 ratings, average: 5,00 out of 5)

Every parent has encountered the phenomenon of a rash on the child’s back and stomach. Rashes accompany children starting from infancy; in most cases, changes in the skin do not promise anything dangerous and are the result of irritation or allergies.

However, parents should remain vigilant and closely monitor their baby's skin to protect him from serious illnesses.

Symptoms of rashes

Most often, rashes can be observed in children under one year of age; schoolchildren and adolescents are less likely to suffer from such troubles.

In addition to visually diagnosed specks on the skin, the baby may exhibit accompanying symptoms:

the upper layer of the epidermis looks dried out;
bubbles form at the site of redness, sometimes they contain liquid that flows out after the bubbles burst;
some diseases that cause a rash on a child’s back are accompanied by an increase in body temperature;
in places that come into contact with clothing or other parts of the body, ulcers up to 5 mm in diameter appear;
the baby behaves sluggishly, feels weak, is capricious;
in some cases, the rash may be accompanied by a disorder of the digestive system: vomiting, loose stools, and a feeling of nausea;
Even less often, with rashes in children, an increase in the functioning of the tear duct is observed.

If symptoms appear on the baby’s body, in most cases it is necessary to take antihistamines, which can only be prescribed by the attending physician.

Diseases that cause rash

Seeing changes on the baby’s skin, all parents wonder what it could be. There are several common diseases in children that can cause appearance and other changes in the epidermis.

Allergy

In children, an allergic rash on the back, neck and stomach looks like small spots painted in different shades. This type of dermatitis appears in young children upon contact with chemicals, medications, and certain foods.

A dermatologist will help you accurately identify the allergen. It is often difficult to determine the specific substance to which the child’s epidermis reacts with dermatitis. For this reason, doctors compile a list of the most dangerous allergens that the baby should not come into contact with or eat.

Symptoms of allergic dermatitis:

small speckled rashes;
skin is irritated and;
disruption of the digestive tract;
restlessness during sleep, lethargic behavior while awake.

Most often, allergies in infants appear on the folds of the arms and legs, stomach, and face. Allergic dermatitis is often accompanied by the appearance of crusts and scabs on top of the redness.

Prickly heat

In children under 2 years of age, the temperature rises locally (for example, at the location of the diaper). As a result, babies suffer from irritation from frequent contact of the skin with waste products. The redness is local in nature and affects only those parts of the body that have been irritated.

For heat rash, healing ointments and air baths are prescribed to avoid irritation; it is recommended to bathe the baby daily and reduce the time he spends in a diaper.

Insect bites

Ordinary bites often cause worry for responsible parents. Most insect bites are not dangerous for children (except in cases of allergies to poison).

Hygiene procedures and diet, the use of light medications and ointments are enough to eliminate symptoms and alleviate the baby’s condition. Atypical behavior of the body is a reason to immediately go to the hospital.

Children, especially at an early age, need constant care and attention from the adults around them.

At an early age, internal systems have not yet formed, so the body reacts very sensitively to excessive environmental factors.

This often causes a rash on the child’s stomach, as well as on the back, shoulders, between the legs, and lower back. This is how an allergic (immunopathological) reaction manifests itself. But there may be other reasons, for example, infectious.

Possible causes of the rash

Body rashes in children can have many causes. A similar symptom accompanies more than a hundred different diseases.

Parents do not have to be able to navigate all this diversity and determine right away what kind of rash it could be, but it is very important to always consult a doctor, since some of these diseases are indeed very dangerous.

The causes of rashes in childhood should be divided into several groups:

The rash may occur due to vascular disease or as a reaction to bleeding disorders. Hemorrhagic rashes appear in the form of red dots covering the entire body or multi-colored bruises.

Such symptoms are characteristic of hemophilia. If there is more of it on the legs, it is most likely hemorrhagic vasculitis, a severe vascular pathology.

Photos of some types of rashes in a child:

Allergy

Hemorrhagic vasculitis

Diaper dermatitis

Scabies

This problem occurs in those children whose parents are accustomed to wrapping them up excessively. The cause of rashes on the body can be elementary mechanical irritation, for example, new things with a tight elastic band.

Due to the characteristics of the skin of young children and the difficulties of caring for it, prickly heat, diaper rash, etc. are common diseases at this age. You should not leave your baby in wet diapers or nappies for a long time. It is necessary to bathe more often, wrap the baby less, give his body the opportunity to breathe air, and avoid overheating.

Types of rashes in children (photos and descriptions)

A rash is a local change in the normal condition of the skin. In order to make a correct diagnosis, you need to be able to understand its various types and their affiliation with certain diseases.

The rash may look like:

spots;
pimples;
tubercles;
bubbles;
ulcers.

If you look closely at photographs of various rashes, you will see that each individual disease is characterized by a certain type of rash. For example, this causes redness of the skin, swelling and at the same time severe itching, which is the main sign of the disease.

If spots filled with clear liquid appear on the baby’s body, there are many of them throughout the body and there is an increase in temperature, it may be chickenpox.

If the temperature is normal, the bubbles are concentrated in one place and there are few of them, most likely this is. So, a rash without fever and with a normal general condition of the body (the baby is cheerful and active), this is not an infection, but an allergy.

Bubbles with purulent contents appear when a bacterial infection is added to the underlying disease. This happens due to frequent scratching of itchy areas. Therefore, you need to try to alleviate the manifestations of itching in the child and not allow him to injure the skin, so as not to worsen the situation with a new disease.

Allergy

There are many around us, although not everyone suffers from this disease, but every year the number of patients is rapidly increasing.

Very often, parents notice that after eating certain foods (candies, tangerines, and others), their child’s skin begins to turn red, become covered with spots, rashes, stomach pain, and digestion upset.

An allergic rash on the body is usually pinkish-red, raised and uneven. In some cases, it is absent, but skin redness, irritation, and swelling are observed. Itching is always present.

Photos of allergic rashes in children:

It can develop in children already in the first months after their birth. This happens if the mother does not follow healthy eating principles, smokes, takes medications, or lives in an environmentally unfavorable area.

For the baby, the female body becomes a conductor of toxic substances from the environment, which serve as allergens.

In many cases, a child outgrows a food allergy by the age of 3-5, but very often it becomes a “starting” platform for the development of other forms of this disease. As a rule, it is followed by household allergies in the form of respiratory diseases (colds).

After visiting the circus, zoo, or library, the child develops an obsessive cough, runny nose, and breathing becomes wheezing, but the body temperature is absolutely normal, which allows one to exclude acute respiratory infections. Later, already at school age, pollen allergies follow.

Prickly heat

Skin lesions that develop mainly in infants due to severe overheating. The disease is the result of sweat retention in the excretory ducts of the sweat glands.

Many small blisters filled with liquid content appear on the skin of the trunk and the inner surface of the limbs. When they dry out, a slight peeling remains in their place.

In areas of large folds, pockets of redness (sometimes weeping) may appear, along the edges of which blisters are found (miliaria rubra). They may be accompanied by itching.

Chicken pox

A viral disease that affects children mainly from 6 months to 7 years. In adults it is much less common. The pathogen is a member of the herpes virus group and is transmitted primarily by air.

First, small bubbles with transparent contents appear on the body, and then on the face, head, and limbs. At the same time, the temperature rises, but, as a rule, not higher than 38 degrees.

The bubbles, the size of a match head, gradually enlarge, reaching the size of a grain of rice, then gradually dry out and form a crust, which falls off after ten days. After the first wave of rashes, another appears, and then another.

As a result, fresh rashes are visible on the body along with traces of old spots and wounds from scratching. Usually this process does not drag on for more than a week. The cyclicity of the development of rash elements is a characteristic feature by which, as a rule, the disease is recognized.

Chickenpox itself is not a dangerous disease, but it can have complications such as pneumonia, meningoencephalitis, and viral damage to internal organs. The symptoms are unclear, as one disease overlaps with another. Sometimes it is very difficult to recognize the addition of a secondary infection.

Development of a rash with chickenpox

There are often cases when this ends in death, since assistance in the form of antibacterial therapy was not provided in time. Adults or children over eight to ten years of age are most susceptible to complications after chickenpox.

The virus can manifest itself as another disease on the body. If a child is 2 years old or older, blisters with liquid contents may appear on his lip - this is also a herpetic infection. As a rule, such rashes accompany colds. At an earlier age they rarely appear.

Video from Dr. Komarovsky:

An infectious disease characterized by small-spotted rashes, swollen lymph nodes, and minor catarrhal symptoms in the respiratory tract. The baby’s general condition does not suffer particularly; often the temperature does not rise at all (or no higher than 38 degrees). Lethargy and malaise are observed, older children may complain of headache, cough and runny nose are minor.

The maculopapular rash first appears on the face, and after a few hours spots appear on the abdomen and throughout the body. The elements are round in shape and their size is approximately the same.

The rash is mild in nature, sometimes patients have only a few pale pink spots. After a few days, they disappear without a trace, leaving behind no peeling or pigmentation.

Measles

An infectious, highly contagious disease, along with symptoms of intoxication, is characterized by catarrhal inflammation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and a cyclic rash of maculopapular rashes all over the body. The causative agent, a filterable virus, is carried over considerable distances by air.

Measles occurs primarily in early childhood (7 months - 14 years), after which lifelong immunity remains. In adults, this disease occurs as a rare exception, usually in those who did not get sick as a child. Newborns do not get sick thanks to the specific immunity transmitted through the placenta by the mother.

Measles rash

For the most part, they are quite harmless and do not pose a threat to children. Danger arises if the bite occurs on the mucous membrane of the mouth, face, or neck.

In this case, very severe swelling occurs, which can block the airway. It is necessary to give the child a piece of ice to suck on until the doctor arrives.

After wasps and hornets, local ones usually appear. But it is possible that the process can affect the entire body (swelling, redness throughout the body, pain, itching), and in some cases cause. You should immediately try to remove the sting with your fingers or tweezers.

Persons with hypersensitivity to the poisons of such insects should avoid places where they may encounter them, and also take appropriate medications with them on a country holiday. Most deaths occur within the first hour after the sting.

Other diseases

In addition to the above-mentioned cases, there are a number of pathologies in which the rash is a constant symptom. For example, serum sickness. It occurs as an immunopathological response of the body to the administration of medications subcutaneously.

A rash in the form of hives begins from the place where the injection was given. Everything is accompanied by itching, and the lymph nodes become enlarged.

It develops as a result of the body’s genetic predisposition to a hypersensitive reaction to any substance. The disease can be caused not only by contact allergens, but also by those that enter the body through the respiratory or food route. A rash appears in the form of small nodules and unbearable itching.

Video from Dr. Komarovsky:

In what cases should you urgently consult a doctor?

The symptoms of various skin diseases are very similar to each other. Any childhood infection is accompanied by the appearance of a rash. But the causes of rashes are always different, and therefore require their own treatment, different from others.

There are a number of signs by which you can determine whether it will be possible to postpone a visit to the pediatrician for some time, or whether medical attention is needed right now and immediately, since the rash:

combined with a very high temperature (around 40 degrees);
has spread over the entire surface of the body and causes unbearable itching;
accompanied by nausea, headache, clouding of consciousness;
in the form of star-shaped subcutaneous hemorrhages (severe form of meningitis);
goes hand in hand with difficulty breathing and swelling.

Rashes on the body in children may not require treatment and go away on their own. But in many cases, such a symptom indicates the development of a serious pathology that threatens the life and health of a small patient. Especially if he is not yet 6 months old.

Before this age, infectious diseases such as measles, rubella and chickenpox are extremely rare, and allergies are also rare. Therefore, a rash in the first six months of life may signal some congenital and serious diseases.

The formation of a red rash on the back of a baby is a fairly common occurrence.

It is almost impossible to find a single mother who has not encountered such a symptom.

In some cases, such a manifestation may not pose any threat to the health, life and comfort of the baby, but there are a number of cases when the rash is the first “bell” when quite serious diseases occur.

A rash is a manifestation on the skin, but this does not mean that the cause depends on external factors. A large number of different diseases can be accompanied by a rash. To weed out some of them, it is important to look at the symptoms and manifestations in more detail.

Prickly heat

This rash, called miliaria, appears when the child becomes hot.

Rashes on the back may appear due to the fabric of shirts or sweaters being too thick and warm.

If the clothes are made of synthetic fabric, then the natural circulation of air is disrupted, the so-called greenhouse effect occurs, which provokes the appearance of a rash.

With heat rash, the red rash often looks like small blisters filled with fluid. They are localized in groups, creating entire areas or scattered throughout the body. Apart from itching, no other symptoms are observed.

As for the treatment process, it is enough to restore natural air circulation, change clothes to lighter ones made from natural fabrics and use drying agents.

You can prepare baths for your child with the addition of a small amount of string or chamomile. They provide an anti-inflammatory effect.

Allergy

- this is the body’s response to a stimulus, which can be various foods, including: eggs, milk, seafood, nuts, fruits and berries, chocolate, red vegetables, honey, citrus fruits, etc.

It is also not uncommon for pollen and dust to act as allergens.

The manifestation of an allergic reaction may include the following symptoms:

Rash. In the case of a contact allergic reaction, it occurs at the site where there was contact with the allergen.
Dryness of the skin and its peeling.
In complex or advanced cases, signs of general intoxication appear.
Bubbles in which liquid collects.
Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea.
Burning and itching in the area where the rash is located.
Swelling.

When an allergic reaction occurs, it is necessary to first determine its cause and eliminate contact with the irritant as quickly as possible. Immediately after the examination, the doctor will most likely prescribe an antihistamine. Sometimes it is important to use local remedies to relieve burning and itching.

Many childhood specific infections manifest themselves in the form of different variations of rashes on the skin.

Chicken pox

(popularly) is a disease that is transmitted from person to person through direct contact. The incubation period averages 10-15 days once the virus enters the body. It is part of the herpes group and when it appears, it is accompanied by a rash in the form of small blisters with liquid that can itch.

Sometimes the body temperature rises slightly, but this symptom may not appear. After a few days, the blisters burst and crusts appear. No special treatment is required at this moment; it is enough to just treat the papules with a solution of brilliant green. This is necessary to localize the infection. Once a person gets chickenpox, they have lifelong immunity, although repeated cases of the disease sometimes occur.

Vesiculopustulosis

During this disease, a rash with pustules appears on the body, arms and legs.

The rash also spreads to unaffected areas of the body when the ulcers are opened and the contents get on them.

To localize the spread of the disease, the ulcers must be opened independently, and then treated with a solution of brilliant green, potassium permanganate or other antiseptic drugs.

Lichen

Ringworm is an infectious disease that has several varieties. If the lichen is pink, then a rash appears, forming a spot on which ulcers appear.

Shingles is characterized by the appearance of pink spots all over the body. To begin treatment, it must be prescribed by a specialist after a comprehensive examination. Antifungal drugs and treatment of rashes with antiseptics are often used.

Meningitis

Meningitis is a very serious disease that in severe and advanced cases is fatal. Has the following symptoms:

increased body temperature;
bend your legs while bringing your chin to your chest;
general deterioration of condition;
if the leg is bent at the hip joint, it cannot be straightened at the knee;
a rash appears all over the body;
the occipital muscles are tense;
there is a disturbance of consciousness;

This disease must be taken as seriously as possible. The child requires prompt hospitalization and further treatment in a hospital under the supervision of qualified specialists.

Scarlet fever

Scarlet fever is a common contagious disease that can be transmitted through direct contact, through the use of the same household items, or by airborne droplets. The incubation period from the moment of infection can reach one week.

The disease is characterized by the following symptoms:

the skin becomes rough, rough and dry;
there is a headache;
body temperature increases to 39 degrees;
a rash occurs;
the throat becomes red.

With scarlet fever, a rash also occurs in the mouth

If these symptoms occur, it is very important to seek professional help as soon as possible.

Roseola

Roseola is also called sudden exanthema and is a rather mysterious disease that manifests itself only in the form of two symptoms: an increase in body temperature and the appearance of a rash on about 5-7 days. Once the rash begins to spread throughout the body, the child becomes non-infectious. The disease goes away on its own, without additional treatment.

Rubella

During this disease, a rash appears almost immediately throughout the body, but is more localized on the back and head.

The rash appears as medium-sized pink spots. The number of spots is quite large.

In addition, signs of ARVI may appear.

Often there is an increase in lymph nodes in the occipital region. The rash goes away in about a week. No additional treatment is needed, and after that immunity is developed.

Measles

Measles is a highly contagious disease that manifests itself in the following symptoms:

The spots may organize into large affected areas.
Body temperature increases.
A rash forms not only on the body, but also on the mucous membranes.
Rhinitis.

To ensure that the disease lasts no more than a week, it is very important to contact not only a pediatrician, but also an infectious disease specialist. Once recovery occurs, immunity will be developed for life.

In some cases, careless violation of the integrity of the papule can lead to infection of bacterial origin entering the cavity. This can cause complications of the underlying disease.

Associated symptoms

Along with the rash, a lot of other symptoms may appear, the appearance of which requires caution. Among them may be:

Intense lacrimation.
Peeling and dryness of the skin at the site of the rash.
Photophobia.
Chills.
Formation of blisters at the site of the rash.
Fever.
The appearance of pustules.
Diarrhea, vomiting and nausea.
The rash begins to cover other parts of the body.
General weakness and deterioration of condition.
Increased body temperature.

Even some doctors can sometimes make a mistake or have doubts when choosing a diagnosis, not to mention a person without special medical education. In no case should you self-medicate, but call a pediatrician.

The specialist must conduct an examination and interview the mother as much as possible to find out what events could have affected the child’s condition. Maybe the cause of the rash was the food that the mother ate and then fed the baby, because many foods are prohibited for nursing women.

No less important is the overall picture, which should include a description of all the symptoms, but this cannot give a 100% correct diagnosis. In any case, you will need to take a blood test and perform other procedures to diagnose the cause of the rash.

Treatment

If a rash occurs, the baby and mother must be isolated from other children and pregnant women until the doctor rules out rubella. If the symptoms of meningitis coincide, it is necessary to call an ambulance as soon as possible.

It is imperative to call a doctor:

for a baby who has not yet turned one year old, for any manifestations of the rash;
in the presence of symptoms that are accompanied by an increase in body temperature up to 40 degrees;
during a rash that covers the entire surface of the child’s skin;
with severe itching;
with accompanying symptoms such as vomiting;
during the rash, together with swelling and difficulty breathing.

Until the child has been examined by a specialist, it is not recommended to squeeze out the ulcers on your own, allow the child to touch them, or smear them with brightly colored preparations, which can make it difficult to make a diagnosis.

A red rash on the back can be one of the main symptoms of a large number of dangerous diseases. Some may not require special treatment, while others can cause harm not only to health, but also pose a threat to life.

That is why, in the presence of any manifestations, consultation with a pediatric specialist is very important, and as soon as possible. Self-medication is excluded!

A rash on a child's back is a fairly common occurrence. At least once, every mother has encountered such a symptom, as statistics show. This manifestation may not be serious, but in some cases it is a signal of quite dangerous diseases.

Along with the rash, a number of other manifestations may occur. Let's list some possible ones:

The skin in the affected areas became dry and peeling.
The rash may become wet and blisters may form.
In some places, pustules form.
The rash covers not only the back, but also other parts of the body: arms, legs, face, chest, stomach.
In some diseases accompanied by this symptom, body temperature may increase.
Sometimes there is general weakness and the child’s condition worsens.
In some cases, problems in the digestive tract may occur: nausea and vomiting, diarrhea.
Fever and chills are possible.
Sometimes, with certain diseases, photophobia and increased lacrimation are noted.

Diagnostics

Even an experienced mother of many children is unlikely to be able to independently determine the cause of the rash, since even doctors are sometimes mistaken. The first thing to do is call a doctor.

He will conduct an examination and ask the mother about what events presumably could have affected the child’s condition. So, the parent must remember what the baby ate, as well as what he did in the period of time preceding the onset of the symptom.

In addition, the overall picture is important, so all symptoms should be described. But even this will not make it possible to make a diagnosis. You will definitely need a blood test, the results of which will help the doctor find out the cause of the problem or prescribe other diagnostic procedures.

Possible causes of the rash

A rash is a skin manifestation, but this does not mean that the cause of its occurrence lies in the influence of external factors, although, of course, you should not forget about them. Many different diseases are accompanied by rashes. Let's look at each possible problem in more detail.

Allergic reaction

An allergy is the body's reaction to a substance called an allergen.

Allergens can be various foods (especially dairy, nuts, chocolate, citrus fruits, red vegetables, berries and fruits, seafood, eggs, and so on), as well as plants and their pollen and even dust particles and some materials (clothing can be made from them) , linen or furniture).

Allergy symptoms may include:

rashes on different parts of the body (if there is a contact allergy, the rash will most likely appear exactly at the point where the skin comes into contact with the allergen);
peeling and dry skin;
bubbles filled with liquid;
itching and burning in the area of the rash;
swelling (severe form - Quincke's edema);
with food allergies, diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea may occur;
in severe cases, signs of general intoxication are observed.

If an allergy occurs, it is necessary, firstly, to identify its cause, and secondly, to exclude contact with the allergen. After examination and examination, the doctor will prescribe an antihistamine. It is possible to use local remedies against itching and burning.

Prickly heat

If your baby is hot, a rash called prickly heat may occur. Rashes appear on the back due to wearing warm sweaters or shirts.

Also, if, for example, a tank top or T-shirt is made of synthetic fabric, then the skin will not breathe and a greenhouse effect will occur, which will trigger the appearance of rashes.

With prickly heat, the rash most often takes the form of small blisters filled with liquid. They can be point-like or gather in groups, forming large spots. Minor itching may occur, but there are no other symptoms.

Treatment of prickly heat consists of air baths, wearing light clothing made of breathable and natural fabrics, as well as using local drying agents.

You can bathe your child in water with the addition of a decoction of chamomile or string, such plants have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Scarlet fever

Scarlet fever is a contagious disease transmitted by airborne droplets, household (through common objects) and contact routes. It may take several days or a week from the moment of infection to the first symptoms.

Let us list the symptoms of the disease:

first there is a headache;
body temperature rises to 38-39 degrees;
the throat will be sore and red when examined;
then a rash appears;
the skin becomes dry and rough, feeling like sandpaper.

If such manifestations are detected, you should immediately consult a doctor so that he can prescribe treatment.

Chicken pox

Chickenpox is a disease that is transmitted from one person to another through contact. 10-15 days after the virus enters (it belongs to the herpes group and is the causative agent of chickenpox), a rash appears. It looks like fluid-filled blisters that can be itchy and itchy.

The temperature may rise slightly (sometimes this does not happen). After a few days, the bubbles burst and crusts form.

No special treatment is required. You just need to treat the wounds with a solution of brilliant green 10-15 times a day.

This will avoid infection. It is worth noting that a person who has had chickenpox develops lifelong immunity, that is, it is almost impossible to get sick a second time.

Measles

Measles is also a contagious disease. It manifests itself in the form of the following symptoms:

increased body temperature;
runny nose and other symptoms of a cold;
a few days after the first manifestations, spots appear;
then rashes form on the body, limbs, as well as on the mucous membranes;
the spots may coalesce to form large areas of lesions.

In total, the disease lasts a week or a week and a half. A visit to a doctor and treatment by an infectious disease specialist is required. After recovery, immunity is developed for life.

Rubella

With rubella, a rash appears almost immediately all over the body, but it is mainly localized on the head and back. It looks like small pink spots, their number is quite large. Signs of ARVI may also be observed, but minor.

In addition, in most cases, the lymph nodes in the occipital area are enlarged. After 5-6 days the rash goes away. No special treatment is required, and re-infection is impossible.

Roseola or sudden exanthema

Roseola is a mysterious disease with only two symptoms. First, the body temperature rises (up to 39 degrees or more).

In this case, the child may feel normal and not notice signs of illness. After 5 days, a small pink rash begins to spread throughout the body (from now on the baby is non-contagious). It goes away without a trace without treatment.

Meningitis

Meningitis is an extremely dangerous disease that can be fatal. Let's list the symptoms:

This disease requires immediate hospitalization and timely treatment in a hospital.

Vesiculopostulosis

With this disease, pustules form on the torso and limbs. If they open, the contents fall onto the nearby surface of the skin, causing infection of healthy areas and the spread of rashes.

To avoid this, the pustules can be carefully opened and treated with antiseptic compounds (potassium permanganate or brilliant green, for example).

Lichen

Ringworm is a fungal disease that comes in several varieties. With pityriasis rosea, a rash occurs that forms spots, over the entire area of which there are pustules.

With shingles, bright pink spots form along the body. Treatment should be prescribed by a doctor after examination. Antifungal agents are most often prescribed, and treatment of the rash with iodine or another antiseptic is also required.

Remember that a rash can be a signal of dangerous diseases! So, if such a symptom is detected, it is better to show the child to a doctor, which will avoid sad consequences.

Human skin is a very sensitive organ. The skin reflects many failures and disturbances in the functioning of the human body. One of these significant signals is a rash on the lower back.

The rash can look different. Spots, dots, nodules, plaques and blisters may appear on the skin. Their color can range from pale pink to red and brown. The rash may itch, itch, or, conversely, not cause any discomfort. You should definitely consult a doctor to find out the cause of the skin rash.

Rash on the lower back causes

A rash on a person’s lower back can appear for a number of reasons:

Rashes on the lower back can be infectious or non-infectious.

A non-infectious rash can be a reaction to an allergen and manifest as urticaria or contact dermatitis.

Hives rashes appear as swollen spots or pink blisters. The rash appears as an allergy to food, medicine or insect bites. The skin itches, tingles and burns when touched.
The rash of contact dermatitis appears exactly where there is contact with the irritant. In the lumbar region, a rash often appears as an allergy to clothing.

Other rashes may appear as a result of hormonal imbalance in the body.

Infectious rashes can be viral in nature, such as with shingles. With reduced immunity, fuzzy spots appear on the skin, which turn into painful blisters. After the rash disappears, slight pigmentation remains. If the rash is accompanied by itching and burning, hormonal agents are used in treatment.

During hormonal changes in adolescence, rashes appear on the body, including the lower back. A dermatologist can easily determine the acne nature of the rash. The rash appears due to blockage of the sebaceous glands. Treatment is based on antiseptic drugs. It is better not to delay treatment so that scars remain.

Rash on the lower back of a child

When pimples or red spots appear on the child’s lower back, many questions arise: what causes the rash, what kind of rash it is and how to treat it. Before you can relieve your child of the unpleasant sensations of itching and burning, you need to determine the cause of the skin rash.

The most common disease that is accompanied by a rash is chicken pox. The disease is caused by a virus that belongs to the herpes category. The rash can be all over the body or in individual areas. Bubbles appear on the body, containing liquid inside. Then the bubbles burst, forming crusts. To prevent infection from getting into the resulting wounds, they need to be treated with brilliant green or potassium permanganate. The crusts need to be processed until they disappear completely. It can take about twenty days from the moment the virus enters the body until the first rash appears. The disease is contagious. A child who has recovered from the disease develops immunity for life.

If you have measles On the fifth day, the child develops a rash in the form of red spots that merge. The appearance of the rash is preceded by a cough, conjunctivitis, runny nose and fever.

Scarlet fever It is considered one of the most serious infectious diseases in children. It starts with a sore throat and high fever and sore throat. A small pink rash appears. A characteristic sign that is noticeable on the second to fourth day of illness is the child’s bright red tongue.

Rubella rash especially abundant. The appearance of the rash is combined with enlarged lymph nodes on the back of the head. The illness is similar to a mild cold. After recovery, the rash disappears without leaving any traces.

Meningococcal infection in children it is also accompanied by a rash. The main symptoms are high fever and a sharp deterioration in the child’s condition, accompanied by vomiting and impaired consciousness. In this case, the child should be taken to the hospital immediately

A rash on the lower back may also be the result of an allergy. . Allergies can be to food, clothing, household dust, detergents or down bedding. To determine the exact cause of the allergy, you need to contact an allergist for testing. After identifying the allergen, you need to remove its cause.

The cause of the rash may be prickly heat - This is the most harmless rash. It can appear due to overheating or due to insufficient hygiene. Miliaria appears more often in infants.
