What is it when you have a child and she has little tiny red dots above her lips and she says they dont bother her what can it be. She just got it this morning i believe she drank orange gatorade and idk if that was the case she never drinks it or could it be something serious?
Thank you for posting your question. Red dots on the skin could be due to a variety of reasons, one of them as you correctly mentioned could be allergy to citrus Chat Doctor. However, other causes like viral rash, irritant dermatitis due to application of irritant substance on skin(cream/powder), removal of upper lip hair or allergy to any other agent (ingested/applied) should also be considered. If the rash is not very severe and not progressing, then watchful waiting could be done. At the most some antihistamines a like certain and local calamine lotion could be used. However, if the rash is found to be increasing or if associated symptoms are seen, then a medical consultation is advised. If you have any more doubts regarding the case, kindly write back.
