What causes red bumps on the back and neck of a baby?
Patient: hi my daughter is 9 months old, she has had a few red bumps/ pimple looking things on her back and neck but very little and only sometimes and i have a home nurse that saw them last week and said probably just from the heat, but now the back of her neck and upper back is really red and alot more bumps, it has spread to her stomach , back and neck, it sort of looks like hives but i feel its really intense i dont know if i should be more concerned Doctor: Hi,Welcome To Healthcare Magic.I had gone through your question and understand it.You do not need to worry about your child’s condition. I have seen number of patients of this type in my clinic. If I would be your treating doctor, I would definitely prescribe liquid Levocet (if no allergy), 2.5 ml, once in a day at night for 5 days for relief in red bumps.Also apply medicated powder Imidil (if no allergy) after cleaning the affected area with clean water, 5-7 times in a day. Wear her only cotton wear to avoid irritating friction of clothes with body.After doing all these, I hope your child will get well sooner and please share your review about my answer on healthcare magic.Take Care,Thank You.From:- Dr. Nupur Shah
