According to MSc. Dr. Nguyen Thi Khanh Hang - Department of Clinical Medicine 1, Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital, acrodermatitis is one of the common symptoms in children coming to the hospital for examination and treatment.
Pediatric patients have diverse clinical manifestations such as skin redness, skin erosion, blisters, vesicles, pustules... distributed mainly on the hands and feet, especially the hands and feet.
Based on the specific characteristics of the skin lesions such as type of lesion, arrangement, distribution and systemic symptoms, dermatologists will recommend appropriate tests to serve the diagnosis.
Acrodermatitis can occur in many different skin diseases such as Gianotti-Crosti syndrome, hand-foot-mouth disease, acrodermatitis-enteritis, acute hemorrhagic edema in infants,...
The causes and pathogenesis of these diseases are different. Each clinical situation requires a separate appropriate treatment method. Moreover, the disease can lead to serious complications if not diagnosed early and treated promptly.
Doctor Khanh Hang recommends that when children have injuries on their hands and feet, parents should take them to a reputable medical facility for a comprehensive examination by doctors and appropriate testing.
From there, we can quickly diagnose and treat promptly to help children improve their symptoms.
