#asktheexpert My baby is having red spots (3 or 4 in number) on his face. Is that due to heat in his body. Are those heat prickles? or due to mosquito bites. Please tell me.

A. There are not many prickles we can count on fingers. There are no other symptoms like fever, itching etc. Dr has suggested us to apply desonide cream 0.05% w/w on the red spots. it has reduced but 3 came on the other cheek. Also mosquitoes are present in the house. Are those from mosquitoe bites or due to heat? There are no other symptoms like fever etc. Baby is active. Also not present on the body.

A. Red Colour Rash over the body if present could be some allergy rashes which may be of sudden onset along with itching. or it could be viral exanthematous rash where the the onset of rashes is there along with fever or assosiatefd symptoms. and it could be some infection also which needs propger examination. Application of calamine lotion or Anti itch lotion like Ritch lotion can be done for soothing along with antiallergic medications initially.
