Rash under the chin of a baby

Every child has a rash on their face at least once in their life. It can be white, reddish or yellowish. A rash on a child's chin is an extremely common occurrence. Its causes can be both harmless and serious. To identify the provoking factor, you should consult a doctor. The most likely causes of a chin rash in children (a photo of the affected face is presented below) are discussed in this article.

For men and women

For a man, an itchy chin is an alarm for his beloved. A careful review of the relationship won't hurt. Habit can dull the senses, a woman will become bored, and if a new face appears on the horizon, she may not be able to resist. In any case: both partners should be more attentive to each other. It is better to deliberately introduce a new wave into the relationship.

So why is your chin itchy? In ancient times, it was believed that if your chin itches, a feast is just around the corner. The men, scratching their beards, looked at the gate to see if someone would come in with a drink. Why does a woman's chin itch? It is possible that an ill-wisher with a beard has appeared. His constant, negative thoughts are tantamount to negative influences that constantly undermine his health. The next option: a conflict situation has already arisen in space, in which the victim will receive a blow to the jaw. It could also be an energy blow to the chin. The lower part of the face has already become an object of negative influence, which is why it itches. Itching also speaks of impending romantic events in a woman’s life. Adventures promise to be stormy, but fleeting. Moreover, relationships arise as suddenly as they leave. The depth and beauty of the upcoming novel will be unique. Why does my neck and chin itch? If one of your close relatives sets off on a long journey and after a while you start to experience itching on your neck and chin, this means that the road has not gone well. Coming back soon. The chin and neck are itching for a new meeting with a person who has arrived from afar or a sudden meeting with a foreigner. If family relationships are established, and your chin itches, you should not be surprised by the sudden opportunity to travel abroad.

ChildbirthInfo

Having discovered small pimples on a baby, many parents get scared. They believe that rashes are a sign of an infectious disease or a malfunction of internal organs. However, a rash on the body of a newborn does not always indicate the development of pathology. Immediately after cutting the umbilical cord, dramatic changes occur in the child's body. They are aimed at adapting to new conditions and independent existence. The main processes of transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life take several weeks. The skin, like a mirror, reflects everything that happens in the body.

During the first three days after birth, most newborns develop milia on their skin. These are small white dots. They are located mainly on the nose, bridge of the nose, cheeks and chin. In some infants, rashes are found on the back, chest, and limbs. Milia densely cover the skin, making it look like the surface of foam rubber. In places where rash elements accumulate, the skin remains even and smooth.

Pimples on the face are associated with the formation of the skin, as well as with the adjustment of the sweat and sebaceous glands. They begin to function immediately after the birth of the child. However, by this time the outlet openings of their excretory ducts may not yet be formed. The secretion formed in the glands does not have the opportunity to come to the surface and accumulates in the skin in the form of white dots.

The appearance of milia is facilitated by a sharp change in the environment. Before birth, the baby was in amniotic fluid, the temperature of which was 37 degrees. Postpartum stress caused by exposure to dry, colder air can delay skin formation.

White pimples do not show signs of inflammation. They do not cause concern to the baby and do not contribute to the addition of bacterial microflora. White spots disappear on their own without treatment when the formation of the skin ends.

During adaptation to a new environment and the transition to independent life, a newborn child develops a hormonal crisis. Immediately after birth, the level of estrogen in his blood decreases against the background of changes in the secretion of other hormones. A decrease in the concentration of female sex hormones is observed throughout the first week of a child’s life. The changes in hormonal levels are so strong that the level of estrogen becomes tens and hundreds of times less.

The baby's skin quickly reacts to a sharp change in hormonal balance. She gets covered in newborn acne. Acne occurs on the child’s body due to stimulation of the sebaceous glands by his own and maternal androgens, the proportion of which is increasing. Hyperplastic sebaceous glands, which actively produce secretions, are colonized by lipophilic and lipid-dependent yeast-like fungi Malassezia. Microorganisms provoke the appearance of rash elements.

The rash consists of nodules measuring 1 - 2 mm. They rise above the skin, giving it a rough appearance. The elements of the rash are dense and hard to the touch. Acne looks a little like millet grains scattered across the skin. If the nodules become inflamed, the skin around them turns red. In addition to acne, comedones (blackheads) may appear on the baby's face. Elements of the rash can be single or numerous, covering the entire face and scalp. In most cases, a small number of nodules are observed. Most often they are localized on the forehead, temples and cheeks. The rashes do not cause concern to the baby.

Having discovered pimples on their child, young parents do not know what to do. Newborn acne goes away on its own without treatment. Approximately 3 to 4 months after birth, the baby's hormone levels stabilize. Reduced activity of the sebaceous glands leads to a decrease in the number of lipophilic yeast fungi and cleansing of the skin.

If pimples become inflamed, use an alcohol solution of Chlorophyllipt (1%), a solution of Clotrimazole (1%), powder with dermatol, boric and salicylic acids.

The appearance of pimples on the skin may be associated with the development of prickly heat. This is a skin irritation that occurs as a result of excessive sweating. Irritation is accompanied by rashes consisting of small bubbles with transparent contents. They can be scattered throughout the body or grouped in one place.

Miliaria often occurs in hot weather. However, it can appear in winter if the baby's room is very hot and humid. The rash is often found in newborns who are excessively wrapped. Overheating of children with not yet developed thermoregulation leads to skin irritation.

Miliaria is usually localized in areas under clothing, as well as in the folds of the skin. The rash covers the back, buttocks, neck, upper chest, armpits, groin folds, knees and elbows. Sometimes red pimples are found on the cheeks. Miliaria may cause itching.

With heat rash, the skin sometimes becomes inflamed. Bubbles with cloudy contents and red, swollen nodules the size of a pinhead appear on it. As the elements of the rash increase, large, weeping foci of inflammation form. If the affected areas of the skin are infected with pyogenic bacteria, severe pustular diseases may develop.

To prevent the development of complications in an infant, it is necessary to eliminate the factors that lead to overheating of the baby. In hot weather, you should regularly check the condition of the skin in the folds and use baby powder. It is recommended to bathe children in a decoction of medicinal herbs (chamomile, string, oak bark). To reduce itching, babies are bathed in mint infusion. 3 - 5 tablespoons of raw materials are poured into a three-liter jar and cold water is added to it. After 1 - 2 hours, the liquid is heated in a water bath for 15 minutes, then cooled, filtered and poured into the bath.

Pimples on a baby's face may be allergic in nature. The reaction develops in response to the penetration of allergens into the child’s body. They can come from breast milk, formula, or through skin contact. Allergies often occur when a nursing mother consumes allergenic foods (chocolate, citrus fruits, seafood, eggs, honey, strawberries). A rash of allergic origin appears on the baby’s body if the milk formula is not suitable for him. An allergic reaction can develop in an infant due to the presence of an allergen in the washing powder in which his clothes were washed.

Allergies cause a pink or red rash. It often resembles a nettle burn. First, single elements are formed. If the allergen is not eliminated, the reaction progresses. The rashes become numerous and gradually unite into large scaly spots. Foci of allergies begin to get wet over time.

With food allergies, characteristic bright red spots appear on the baby's cheeks. If an allergic reaction develops under the influence of washing powder, red pimples appear in the places that the fabric touches. They can accurately follow the contours of clothing.

To get rid of allergy symptoms, you need to eliminate the allergen as soon as possible. A nursing mother needs to reconsider her diet and avoid foods that can cause an undesirable reaction. If newborns are bottle-fed, it is necessary to replace the milk formula. To avoid allergies to washing powder, you need to stop using it. It is better to wash infants' clothes by hand with laundry soap. If the irritant is quickly removed, the rash will disappear within a few days. If you cannot identify the allergen, you need to consult a doctor. The progression of an allergic reaction can lead to the development of severe pathologies in children.

The appearance of a rash in an infant may be associated with the development of neonatal vesiculopustulosis. Vesiculopustulosis is an inflammation of the outlets of the sweat glands. The causative agents of the disease are bacteria (mainly staphylococci).

If the source of infection is the child's mother, congenital vesiculopustulosis is diagnosed. Its signs are detected 1–2 days after birth. If the baby was infected after birth, the acquired form of the disease is recorded. Its symptoms appear in a newborn child on the 7th - 10th day of life.

Vesiculopustulosis can develop due to improper care of the baby or against the background of prickly heat. The likelihood of developing the disease increases if the child’s environment includes people who are carriers of pathogenic microorganisms.

With vesiculopustulosis, a pink rash appears, which quickly turns into small blisters with transparent contents. Elements of the rash can be numerous, prone to merging, or single. They are usually localized in folds of skin, on the buttocks and back. The rash often covers the scalp and forehead. On the 2nd - 3rd day after the first elements of the rash appear, the contents of the blisters become cloudy. When the pustules open, ulcers appear, which later become crusty.

In weakened children, vesiculopustulosis can cause an increase in body temperature to 38 degrees and above. They may refuse to eat and become restless.

If your baby shows signs of vesiculopustulosis, you should consult a doctor. He will prescribe treatment and tell you what to do. Elements of the rash are cauterized several times a day with alcohol solutions of Fukortsin, brilliant green, and methylene blue. The disease cannot be ignored. If left untreated, the infection will penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and cause serious complications.

It is very difficult for an inexperienced person to determine the nature of the rash. Therefore, if any rash appears on the baby’s skin, you should definitely consult a pediatrician. Pimples on the face and body may indicate the development of a viral disease. Infants are sometimes diagnosed with roseola infantum, measles, chickenpox, rubella, and enterovirus infection. Infectious diseases accompanied by a rash can cause serious complications.

Any type of pimples on the skin should not be squeezed. Medicines should only be used as prescribed by a pediatrician and under his supervision.

Greetings, friends! In this article we will deal with a rather simple issue that concerns the health of your child. We will consider the reasons for the appearance of irritation on the chin of a baby. The phenomenon is quite common, many mothers do not pay attention to it, but most still worry whether this is a symptom of some serious illness.

I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that the article will focus specifically on pimples that pop up on the chin and around the mouth. We will not take the face as a whole, because the causes and methods of treatment will be completely different. Therefore, we consider the chin.

Before we talk about the causes, let's first find out what type of rash is. These are usually small red pimples; a little less often there may be red ones with a white dot, a rod in the middle. There are two reasons for the appearance of such pimples: drool and allergies.

There are also pure white pimples, which are associated specifically with hormones and are observed in infants at a very early age, in the first months after birth. Such acne goes away very quickly with age and does not require any intervention. But they can pop up not only on the chin, but also on the face as a whole. But you and I agreed to look only at the chin.

In the first year of life, a child produces quite a lot of saliva. First, this happens because the salivary glands begin to test their work, then because the baby begins to cut teeth. Another reason may be that the child, out of curiosity, puts everything into his mouth along with bacteria, and, as you know, the more microbes in the mouth, the more saliva is produced.

I described all this in more detail in the articles:

“Why is a child drooling”;

“What time do children cut their teeth?”

Quite often, red pimples on a baby’s chin coincide with the eruption of the first teeth. During this period, a lot of saliva begins to be released, and in children it is quite “caustic” and irritates delicate skin. Parents still don’t know what to do with this saliva, so we end up with small pimples.

Why on the chin? Yes, because drool flows down just down the chin and, if you don’t wipe it off in time, it can cause irritation.

In addition to teeth, the cause may also be the pacifier, which the baby has begun to actively use. The pacifier could also become a source of bacteria in the mouth and, accordingly, excessive salivation. You can read more detailed information regarding pacifiers:

“How to accustom a child to a pacifier”;

“How to wean a child off a pacifier.”

In fact, allergic reactions occur in children not only on the chin, but also on the face as a whole. If it is an allergy to some product, then it is mainly the cheeks that suffer. “Why are the child’s cheeks red?” Therefore, you should not make hasty conclusions regarding new products.

There is one nuance here: the food had an external effect on the child’s chin. After all, as you know, babies eat very sloppily, especially if you have just started introducing complementary foods. Remains of some liquid puree may flow down the chin, which causes irritation.

Also, an allergy could not necessarily arise from food. Perhaps it's the clothes. Think about whether your child has a new jacket or sweater that he could use to rub his chin. This could be either an allergy to a given item, or simply a banal irritation that arose due to friction.

First you must clearly determine the reason. If you decide that this is drool, it means:

Buy several bibs and change them for your child often. Bibs will protect the baby's outer clothing from getting wet; if they are not used, irritation will periodically occur due to the fact that the child rubs his chin on wet clothes.
Wipe your child's drool often and wash him 3-4 times a day. Washing has never harmed anyone. If you wash off the remaining saliva from your chin with regular, possibly boiled water, you will prevent the recurrence of irritation.
Maintain good hygiene. Wash pacifiers, toys, and chews that your baby puts in his mouth more often. The fewer bacteria, the less saliva will be released.

If you see that there is not so much drooling, then perhaps the reason lies elsewhere. Analyze what new food you gave your child. Perhaps you have introduced a new ingredient into complementary foods. If you remember about a new product, then try to temporarily exclude it from your diet and see the reaction.

Also, after each spoon feeding (if your baby eats sloppily and splashes everything), it is advisable to wash the child so that traces of food do not remain on the face and, in particular, on the chin.

If you maintain hygiene and begin to wash your baby more often, plus you have eliminated several foods from the diet that could cause allergies, but the pimples still do not go away and the child is capricious because of them, then you can do the following.

Buy chamomile or chamomile in bags and brew according to the instructions.
Use cotton pads to wipe your baby's face several times a day.
Try wiping in turns: one day with chamomile, and the second in succession. Look at the result. Both decoctions should relieve irritation quite well.

That’s basically all, we have figured out the main reasons for the appearance of a rash on the chin of an infant and found out how to help the baby in such cases.

Pimple on the chin of a baby

my daughter is a little over a month old. It all started with one pimple. Right now there are 7 of them, they are red and full. I really want to squeeze it out, but I can’t.

Pimple…..

Good day. Please tell me how to dry out a pimple on my face... this infection has come out and is spoiling my mood......:( My skin is oily, but I picked up skin care products, so I haven’t had them for a long time.... And here...

The delicate thin skin of a newborn baby is an object of special admiration for parents. Therefore, it is not surprising that mothers and fathers begin to sound the alarm if pimples appear on the child’s face from the first days of life. Why this happens and what to do about this problem, we will tell you in this material.

What it is?

Pimples on a newborn's face can be isolated, or they can occupy a fairly large area. Most often we are talking about white or yellowish wen, but there are also red hollow acne. In medicine it is called neonatal cephalic pustulosis. According to various sources, the problem occurs in many babies; pimples appear in 20-35% of newborns.

Pimples usually appear on the child's nose, forehead, cheeks and chin. Quite often, the rash appears on the scalp, as well as on the ears, behind them and on the neck. Even less commonly, pimples appear on the chest. The nature of the rash itself may vary. If there are only yellow or white wen on the skin, then these are closed comedones. If blackheads appear, which is not very typical for an early age, then these are open comedones. Purulent acne is a pustule, and if the acne looks like small balls, elevations above the skin without visible filling are papules.

Most often, neonatal pustulosis begins immediately after birth , as well as in the first month of the child’s independent life. Less often - 3-4 months after birth and very rarely - by the end of the first year of life. This phenomenon cannot be considered a disease. The problem is physiological in nature and usually goes away on its own without a trace immediately after the natural causes that caused it are eliminated. For the vast majority of babies, acne goes away within a month after the first signs appear. In some children it persists for 4-6 months.

Reasons for appearance

The causes of acne in early childhood are not fully understood.

The most convincing arguments are usually two provoking factors:

hormonal processes in the baby’s body;
adaptation of the child’s skin to new living conditions.

Hormonal processes are caused by estrogen, the female sex hormone, which is received by the child from the mother during pregnancy and during childbirth. This hormone causes increased production of subcutaneous fat by the sebaceous glands, as a result of which the pores become “clogged” with the secretion of the glands, the hair follicle and the gland itself become inflamed. The influence of maternal hormones on the baby’s body does not last long - several months. Then the child’s hormonal levels return to normal and remain stable until adolescence. At the age of 12-13, the same processes will begin in the body, but they will only be caused by the child’s own sex hormones.

The second reason is adaptive processes. Over the nine months of pregnancy, the baby’s skin has become accustomed to contact with the aquatic environment, because in the mother’s womb the baby was surrounded by amniotic fluid. In the first weeks after birth, the baby’s skin “adjusts” to the air environment and “learns” to work in a new mode. The debugging process takes some time, and therefore increased sebum production is natural.

Subcutaneous fat is a means of protecting the body; with its help, the skin is protected from aggressive external influences. It is not surprising that the skin of a newborn tries to protect the baby from external influences. The appearance of pimples has nothing to do with hygiene issues. Therefore, it is not worth “executing” yourself for insufficient care, as a result of which the baby became covered with acne. It doesn't depend on care.

When acne is a sign of illness

Acne in newborns is not a cause for concern, which cannot be said about rashes that are caused by dermatosis and some infectious diseases. Therefore, it is important to teach parents to distinguish between ordinary pimples, the appearance of which, as we have found out, is quite natural, and skin manifestations of a painful condition.

Pimples and blisters can appear with chickenpox, herpetic infections, various dermatoses, and allergic reactions. They can be a consequence of diaper dermatitis if they are in the groin, or contact dermatitis if they coincide in location with areas of the skin in contact with clothing or seams on clothing. A careful and thoughtful examination of the child’s body will help to distinguish neonatal acne from manifestations of the disease:

Localization. Harmless acne is located mainly on the cheeks, nose, forehead, chin, behind the ears and occasionally on the chest. An allergic reaction usually has a wider “geography”, spreading to the body - to the stomach, back, skin folds, and butt. Diaper dermatitis is limited to the diaper coverage area. A viral infection can be located in any part of the body, but it is never limited to just one part of the body. The exception is the herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, which usually affects the lips, nose, and nasolabial triangle.

If it is difficult to distinguish acne from a painful rash on your own, do not be shy; you should call a doctor at home. The doctor will help you understand this difficult issue and give the necessary recommendations.

Usually, a visual examination of the child is sufficient for a specialist. By its characteristic appearance, a doctor can easily distinguish acne from other possible ailments. In doubtful cases, as well as in cases of severe and deep acne, the doctor may recommend a general blood test and the contents of the purulent “head” for bacterial culture. This will make it possible to establish the exact type of microbe that caused the inflammation, as well as find out what type of antibiotics it is sensitive to.

This analysis is popularly called a stool test for dysbacteriosis. If a baby is diagnosed with abnormalities in the balance of bacteria living in the intestines, he may be prescribed drugs such as Bifidumbacterin, which will help normalize the microflora.

Pediatricians quite often prescribe stool testing for infants with acne for the presence and characteristics of intestinal microflora.

Neonatal acne in a child does not require special treatment. They almost always go away on their own as the baby’s body becomes normal. But caring parents cannot calmly look at the baby’s acne-covered face; they definitely need to do something to feel that they are giving the baby everything he needs. It is useless to convince moms and dads - every pediatrician knows this. Therefore, there are certain recommendations that, although they do not affect hormonal processes, make it somewhat easier for the child’s skin to adapt to a new environment.

The quantity and quality of acne also depends on the environment , so it is important to create a microclimate for the child in which he will not sweat much, because excessive sweating creates the preconditions not only for clogging of pores with sebaceous secretions, but also for other, less harmless skin rashes. All newborns tend to sweat, because their thermoregulation has not yet been adjusted. The optimal conditions that mom and dad can create are an indoor air temperature of no more than 20 degrees Celsius, as well as a relative air humidity of 50-70%. To do this, just buy a room thermometer and a special device - an air humidifier. This purchase is more than useful, because proper humidity in the room is also an excellent way to prevent respiratory diseases.

Bed linen in a newborn's crib should be made from natural fabrics without the use of textile dyes. During sleep, the baby's head sweats more. Therefore, it is very important that the scalp and face come into contact only with natural fabrics. Place a folded diaper, previously ironed, under your head. The diaper must be changed to a fresh one at least three times a day.

Wearing the right clothes will also help reduce sweating. There is no need to wrap the baby up. At home, the baby may well be without a cap at all, but for a walk you should dress the baby strictly according to the weather. If the child is still sweating, for example, in winter in overalls, then you should bathe him in warm water without using detergents and baby soap immediately after returning from the street and change him into dry, clean underwear.

You can bathe your child with soap only once a day. Moreover, it is better to use not a bar of soap, but soapy water, which should be prepared before bathing. Any soap, even baby soap, dries out the skin.

Often, the use of detergents only provokes excess production of subcutaneous sebum, with which the sebaceous glands will try to protect the skin from drying out.

If acne is accompanied by the appearance of a crust on the face, there is no need to remove it mechanically. It is enough to apply warm vegetable or peach oil to it 20 minutes before bathing. The softened crust will come off on its own faster. White and blackheads on a baby should not be squeezed out, wiped with alcohol, adult lotions or other cosmetics.

Acne should not be smeared with baby cream or other oil-based products, because this additionally affects the blockage of skin pores and can lead to the appearance of new rash elements. You should not use anti-acne products intended for older children, or products with antibiotics, on the baby's delicate skin.

It should be taken into account that the newborn has not yet developed his own immunity, including local immunity, and therefore his skin has great difficulty coping with the attacks of bacteria that are everywhere. This is why it is so dangerous to subject the skin to mechanical cleaning and the influence of medications. The associated bacterial inflammation will not benefit the child, and the marks that remain after squeezing out pimples can last a lifetime, ruining the child’s appearance.

Cotton pads moistened with a decoction of chamomile can be applied for 10-15 minutes to the areas most severely affected by acne. However, it should be remembered that medicinal plants can also cause allergies, so before using any herbal remedy, it is advisable to consult a pediatrician.

The baby is allowed to bathe and wash with water with a decoction of chamomile or string added to it.

It is allowed to treat the rash with a weak solution of Chlorophyllipt. It is better to use a drug that is sold in the form of an alcohol solution. Oil solution and spray are not suitable for infants. You should not carry out such procedures too often to avoid drying out the skin. Children prone to allergies should not smear their faces with this drug, since its herbal components can aggravate allergic manifestations.

The amount of acne is also influenced by the hormone cortisone, which is produced in humans under stress. If a mother who is breastfeeding a child is very nervous, then the baby receives cortisone with milk, which he generally does not need. Mom definitely needs to calm down and create favorable psychological conditions for herself and her baby.

After bathing, the child’s skin does not need to be rubbed with a towel. It is quite easy to blot it, since intense mechanical impact can lead to microtrauma with subsequent infection by pathogenic bacteria.

Any redness on the baby’s skin causes parents to worry; pediatrician Anna Ramonova will tell you about what kind of rashes their babies might have.

Diagnostics to rule out other possible problems. Treatment

An examination and additional consultation with a dermatologist are necessary. The following diagnoses require exclusion: psoriasis, neurodermatitis, hyperfunction of the thyroid gland, skin fungus. Neurodermatitis is dangerous not only because of the progressive itching that occurs in the evenings, but also due to its psychological component. Treatment of the skin in this case is not enough. Psychotherapeutic assistance is mandatory for patients with neurodermatitis. A reaction to ultraviolet radiation should not be ruled out. When covering your face from a burn with a towel, do not leave part of your chin exposed. The consequences of sun exposure are peeling and itching.

Pimples itch. Possible reasons

Why do pimples on my chin itch? Most likely, itching indicates a person’s character traits. A pimple on the face is a striking change in a fragment of one’s appearance and speaks of a strong character trait, necessarily negative. A pimple is a pimple. Ancestors believed that the chin would tell about the strength of the spirit. A flaw in the appearance on the chin determines lethargy of actions, low self-esteem, and a passive position in life. For pregnant women, a pimple foreshadowed the birth of a boy.

For a girl dreaming of a groom - the appearance of a contender. Acne from a medical point of view (the term “acne”) is the internal release of “dirty” substances from the body through the skin. It is caused by weakened liver or lymph system function. With prolonged dysfunction of the body's filtering organs, the concentration of pathogenic flora reaches a dangerous level, the body requires immediate release. This process can cause clogging of the sebaceous glands, forming a barrier that becomes a barrier to cleansing the skin pores. Skin imbalance develops, and the preconditions for the appearance of inflammatory subcutaneous processes are formed. Confectionery “distortions” in the menu have a detrimental effect on the functioning of the endocrine system. Baked goods, sweets, chocolate, and ice cream should be consumed in moderation. Sometimes a person begins to eat stress, but it is no secret that the fleeting pleasure of food creates the illusion of freedom from the problem. The dope is dissipating, and I want to “continue the banquet.”

Hot and spicy dishes are time bombs. Combined with polluted air emissions and drinking water that leaves much to be desired, such nutrition poses a serious threat. The pancreas is overloaded, the endocrine system fails. Alcohol is a special topic: its quality, quantity, and most importantly, strength. The higher the alcohol level, the stronger the impact on the liver. Alcohol poisoning weakens the body’s protective functions for more than one day, making the body vulnerable to infection, infection, including skin infections. That's when my chin itches.

Neonatal vesiculopustulosis

In weakened children, vesiculopustulosis can cause an increase in body temperature to 38 degrees and above. They may refuse to eat and become restless.

Treatment

Treatment involves eliminating the irritant (allergies), ointments (for example, sulfur is often used today), special baths and diet. Experts sometimes recommend taking a course of balneotherapy (treatment with mineral waters). To relieve itching, antihistamines such as Suprastin, Eden, Diazolin, Tavigil, Clemastine, Claritin and others are often prescribed. Antihistamine ointments “Soderm”, “Mesoderm”, “Lorinden”, “Fenistil” are also prescribed.

If you are overworked, you need the help of a psychotherapist. In other complex cases, drug treatment is required (strictly as prescribed by a doctor and under supervision).

Causes of itchy chin

It is difficult to determine exactly why your chin itches; there are different reasons. Unjustified use of antibacterial and hormonal topical agents often leads to perioral dermatitis.

Cosmetic and hygiene products often provoke itching in the chin area. It all depends on their composition. The more active components, the stronger the negative effect, and the more likely the occurrence of adverse reactions.
Women note that the base for makeup must be carefully selected, since daily use of such creams sometimes causes allergic reactions on the skin of the face.
Prolonged stay in the cold, in a dusty and dry room contributes to disruption of the normal state of the epidermis, as a result, itching in the facial area.

Allergic and itchy rashes are observed during the period of hormonal changes. Adolescence, pregnancy, menopause weaken the immune system, which leads to various malfunctions in the body. In women, rashes and itching of the skin in some cases are observed before the start of the menstrual cycle; such manifestations do not require any treatment.

If the patient uses hormonal contraceptives and skin itching appears as a result of this, then the problem can be eliminated simply by replacing the contraceptive (only an obstetrician-gynecologist should do this).

It should be noted that not all patients develop perioral dermatitis. To do this, you need favorable soil for its emergence.

When carrying out bacterial culture, opportunistic microflora can always be found on the skin and mucous membranes. When it “dozes,” that is, its titers are within acceptable limits, there is no danger. According to various studies, it has been proven that perioral dermatitis occurs if the following factors are present:
