A. Bumps on your one-year-old's hands and legs that lead to itching and wounding may indicate a skin condition like eczema, an allergic reaction, or an insect bite. To provide relief: 1. Moisturize: Apply a gentle, fragrance-free baby moisturizer or emollient like Cetaphil Baby Daily Lotion to keep the skin hydrated. 2. Avoid Irritants: Use mild, chemical-free baby soaps and detergents for bathing and washing clothes. 3. Prevent Scratching: Keep your baby’s nails trimmed short and consider using soft mittens to minimize scratching. 4. Soothing Ointments: Apply a pediatric-recommended anti-itch cream like calamine lotion or a mild hydrocortisone cream (only with a doctor's advice). 5. Check for Allergens: If the bumps appeared after a new food or product, eliminate it and observe if the condition improves. If the symptoms persist, worsen, or if there are signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus, or fever), consult a pediatrician or dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
