Molluscum Contagiousum: What every parent should know.

Molluscum contagiosum is a common viral skin infection, especially in children, that causes small, raised, round bumps on the skin. The condition is typically harmless and will go away without any treatment. The downside to this bumpy rash is that it can linger for 15-36 months. Once a lesion pops up, typically another lesion is developing too. Each lesion typically stays on the skin for 3-6 months, but the entire process can take up to 3 years before your child is bump-free.

Molluscum can be spread to others by direct skin-to-skin contact, or by sharing personal items like towels, razors, or sports equipment.

While most cases of molluscum resolve without any treatment, the pediatric experts at Arbor Pediatrics can help you confirm the cause of your child’s pesky bumps and discuss if any treatment is necessary. Call us today for a rash evaluation appointment.

Choosing a daycare or preschool can be very stressful.

Here are a few things to consider when making a choice:
~ What’s the caregiver-to-child ratio?
~ How does the facility handle discipline & safety?
~ Are there enrichment activities (arts, playtime, etc.)?
~ What holidays do they close?
~ Do they offer a list of references?

Your child’s new daycare may require a form to be completed by their health provider prior to enrolling and we can help you out! We ask you to give us 72 hours to complete any required form.

Have you had a good experience with a local daycare or preschool? Tag them below.

Crusty nose?

Impetigo is a very common and very contagious skin infection seen in children (but anyone can get it). It typically starts as red sores or blisters, which can burst and form a honey-colored crust. The most common areas to be infected are the nose and mouth, but it can spread to other parts of the body.

Impetigo spreads easily through direct contact with infected skin, or by touching contaminated towels, clothing, or bedding. Most cases can be treated with antibiotics, either topical (applied to the skin) or oral, depending on severity.

To prevent impetigo keep your child’s skin clean, encourage frequent hand-washing, teach them to not pick their noses, and avoid sharing personal items.

If you suspect your child has impetigo, consult your child’s provider here at Arbor Pediatrics to get the right treatment. Early intervention helps prevent spreading it to others.

A few things to do if your child or someone else is having a seizure:
~ Stay calm and clear the area of any dangerous objects.
~ Place something soft under their head.
~ Don’t put anything in their mouth.
~ Lie them on their side if possible on a low-to-the-ground surface.
~ Time the seizure and call for emergency help if it lasts more than 5 minutes.

Seizures that are left untreated or undetected can lead to life long issues such as learning and memory problems, trouble with attention, and social challenges.

Umbilical cords can cause many worries for new parents.

When you bring home your newborn, the umbilical cord will be drying and more than likely look dark in color. The stump will fall off within a few weeks after birth, but it`s important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Do not apply any tight fitting diapers over the stump. If the cord causes crust on the skin, you can gently clean the area with a warm, damp washcloth.

Call your newborn’s pediatric provider if the skin around the umbilical cord is bright red, has foul drainage, or has persistent bleeding.
