Papular urticaria is not contagious, so parents don't need to worry about their child infecting others. However, when a child develops symptoms, they should be cared for promptly and the cause investigated to prevent recurrence.
1. Identify the cause: This is usually related to mosquito bites, contact with certain plants or environmental irritants, and is an allergic reaction, not an infectious disease caused by bacteria or viruses.
2. Home care methods: Keep the skin clean and prevent the child from scratching the rash. Calamine lotion can be applied externally to relieve itching. Trim nails to prevent scratching and infection.
3. When to seek medical attention: If the rash spreads, itching becomes severe, or blisters or fever develop, it is recommended to take your child to see a doctor. The doctor may prescribe anti-allergy medication.
Pay attention to home hygiene to reduce mosquito breeding; when outdoors, dress children in long-sleeved clothing and use child-friendly mosquito repellent products. Careful care and prevention can help alleviate children's discomfort.
