Pediatric urticaria papular is one of the most common childhood skin diseases. It appears as red, itchy blisters on the skin, which appear due to the body's allergic reaction to various irritants.
Infantile urticaria papular can occur at any age, but most often appears in children between 6 months and 3 years of age. The cause of hives can be allergies to food, medications, and even to certain objects that the child comes into contact with.
The main symptom of urticaria infantum papularis is a skin rash that appears suddenly and can disappear as quickly as it appears. The rashes can vary in size and shape, may be red or pink in circumference, and may have a white spot in the center. The skin around the rash may be red and swollen.
Infantile urticaria papular is usually not a serious condition and goes away on its own within a few days. However, if the rash causes severe itching and discomfort in your child, steps can be taken to relieve the symptoms. For example, you can give your child antihistamines or use topical medications that relieve itching. If infantile papular urticaria is caused by an allergy to food or medications, then it is necessary to exclude them from the child’s diet.
In general, pediatric papular urticaria is a temporary disease that goes away without health consequences. However, if your child develops other symptoms, such as fever, you should see a doctor. Also, if you notice that your child is developing papular urticaria too often or too severely, be sure to consult with your doctor to determine the causes and prescribe adequate treatment.
