How to treat red spots on a child’s body
My child is 16 years old this year and has recently developed numerous red pimples on the body, which have not improved despite time. I would like to know how to treat red spots appearing on a child’s body.

Common clinical approaches for treating red spots in children include anti-allergic and anti-infective therapies. 1. Anti-allergic therapy: Oral antihistamines such as cetirizine tablets or fexofenadine capsules may be prescribed; topical treatments include emollient creams, hydrocortisone cream, or pimecrolimus cream. 2. Anti-infective therapy: Topical antibiotics—such as erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, or acyclovir cream—or oral antibiotics—including cefaclor tablets, amoxicillin capsules, or extended-release azithromycin tablets—may be administered per physician instructions. Patients presenting with this symptom are advised to seek prompt medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate, targeted treatment.
