What are the small white spots on the baby's face? Be alert to this disease

For mothers who take good care of their children, they can sometimes find some small white spots on their children's faces, and the whole face looks very scary, especially around the nose. There are more and more serious ones. Parents don't know what these small white spots are. The following is what are the small white spots on the baby's face?

1. Milia: Small white spots on the baby's face may be miliaria. Milia is a kind of small white or black rash that protrudes from the skin surface on the baby's nose and cheeks, just like millet grains. It often appears in babies under three months old, mainly because the baby's sebaceous glands are not yet fully functioning. But parents don’t need to worry, miliary rash will gradually disappear as the baby grows older and does not require treatment.

2. Eczema: Small white spots on the baby’s face may be eczema, but the white spots of eczema are red underneath, so mothers should distinguish eczema from miliary rash. If it is eczema, then you must pay attention to keeping the baby's skin clean and dry, and do not use alkaline shower gel for the baby. At the same time, pay attention to changes in the surrounding environment to avoid irritation. Finally, trim the baby's nails short to prevent the baby from scratching himself due to itching.

3. Mothers should not squeeze milia out of curiosity. Milia is originally just a normal physiological phenomenon. If it is squeezed, the baby's wound will be easily infected by bacteria and fungi, turning the normal physiological phenomenon into a disease. This result is not worth the loss. In addition, you should pay attention to your baby's hygiene and wash your baby's face every day. Be gentle and use a clean towel or gauze to dry your baby's face after washing.

Milia does not require treatment or special care and will disappear naturally as the baby grows older.
