Papular urticaria is not contagious, so parents can rest assured. It is a skin reaction caused by insect bites or allergies, and treatment focuses on relieving itching and preventing infection.
1. Relief from itching: Calamine lotion can be applied topically to help relieve itching and prevent the child from scratching. If the itching is severe, the doctor may recommend using a children's antihistamine cream.
2. Prevent infection: Keep skin clean and trim child's nails. If blisters are scratched, apply a small amount of antibiotic ointment to prevent infection.
3. Find the cause: Pay attention to checking your living environment and reducing mosquito breeding. Changing bed sheets and clothes may also be related to allergens such as dust mites.
Try to dress your child in long-sleeved clothing and use mosquito nets or children's mosquito repellent products. If the rash spreads, the redness and swelling worsens, or the child develops a fever, seek medical attention promptly.
