Infections, which may be localized or a component of a more widespread sickness, or allergic reactions frequently result in the sin becoming inflamed in children, causing spots and rashes. Most rashes that are not accompanied by fever or a general feeling of being sick are not an indication of a dangerous illness; however, if the rash is itchy or sore, you should see your doctor, who can offer effective treatment.
WARTS
A wart is a lump on the skin brought on by an infection. The most typical kind of wart is a hard, abrasive bump with no pain. Warts can appear alone, but more frequently they appear in bunches. The most typically affected body part is the hand, however planter warts, which are flat warts, frequently form on the bottoms of the feet. Your youngster may experience foot pain from a plantar wart.
Treatment
Warts do not require treatment and will go away on their own. But, if your child has plantar warts or is embarrassed by unattractive warts, go to your doctor. He or she can suggest treating the wart with lotion sprayed on it or sending your child to the hospital so the wart can be burned off or frozen off. Warts removed by freezing do not leave scars.
Boils
A boil develops when bacteria enter a hair follicle, a pit in the skin from which a hair grows, causing the follicle to fill with pus. Under the skin, an inflammatory lump with a white center forms. The skin eventually heals after the boil finally pops, releasing the pus.
Treatment
Usually, a single boil heals on its own. When a boil pops, gently remove the pus with cotton wool dipped in an antiseptic solution and, if required, wrap it in an adhesive bandage. If your child develops multiple painful boils, a large one, or if boils keep coming back, see a doctor. Antibiotics or a lotion with an antiseptic may be recommended by your doctor. Your doctor may occasionally need to make a tiny cut in the core of a huge boil to release the pus and speed up healing.
