What to do if your newborn baby has red eyelids

A mother goes through a year of preparation for pregnancy, 10 months of hard pregnancy, running back and forth between the hospital and home for so long, and then the baby is born. She breastfeeds and holds him tightly, wanting to give him everything he loves most in the world. The joy she feels when she looks at the little one in her arms cannot be summed up in just a few words. However, we found that many newborns have red eyelids. The eyelids are the most fragile skin on the face and cannot be ignored. So what exactly is going on with red eyelids?

This is generally not a special problem. It is mainly related to one's constitution and spring. It is also considered an allergic phenomenon.

However, if only the eyelids are red and there are no other special abnormal symptoms, no special treatment is needed. The child will get better as his physical condition gradually improves. I wish your child can grow up healthily.

Babies are all red when they are born. Also, this will happen if mom eats too much chili peppers. Pay attention to eating a light diet. It usually takes a few days.

Another thing to consider is hemangioma, which is a common disease in children and often occurs in the maxillofacial area, lips, tongue, nose tip, eyelids and other parts of the body. Hemangioma is a benign tumor characterized by proliferation of vascular endothelial cells. It usually appears within 1 to 4 months after birth. It is initially just a small red spot and then grows rapidly, usually lasting about 5 months, after which the growth rate slows down. When the child is 10 to 12 months old, 60% of the hemangiomas begin to regress on their own.

Hemangiomas are generally divided into port-wine stains, cavernous hemangiomas, mixed hemangiomas and racemose hemangiomas clinically. One-third of children with congenital hemangioma tend to heal on their own. Don't rush into treatment. Observe for a period of time and then ask the doctor to decide whether to use medication. If the hemangioma still exists after the age of two, it is most likely a vascular malformation and requires timely treatment.

Before treatment, it is best to determine the type of hemangioma so that treatment can be tailored to the disease. For cavernous malformations, sclerotherapy can be used, while for racemose hemangiomas, embolization, cryosurgery, interventional therapy and other treatment methods can be used. In addition, studies in recent years have found that isotope therapy or direct injection of bleomycin into certain hemangiomas or vascular malformations can rapidly inhibit the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells and promote the regression of hemangiomas, thereby achieving the purpose of treatment.

In fact, you still need to pay attention to your baby's red eyelids. If it is not too serious, you don't need to rush to the hospital. You can observe for a while to see if the situation gets worse. The mother also needs to pay attention to her diet. It is best not to eat spicy food because it will be passed to the baby through breast milk. The mother needs to pay attention to everything so that the baby can grow up healthily.
