What is the situation of small red bumps on the newborn's face?

Many newborns have small red bumps on their faces, but new mothers don’t know why and often worry about their babies. What is the situation with the small red bumps on the newborn’s face? I believe that many mothers are very concerned about this topic. After asking the doctor, I summarized the following points. If you want to know, let’s take a look.

Heat rash on face

Heat rash is the most common reason for babies. It usually occurs in summer. Heat rash does not necessarily grow only on the body, but sometimes on the face. Young mothers are often anxious but at a loss. They have tried many methods but have not achieved any results. The way to distinguish is to see if the baby also has small red bumps on his neck or back, and whether he scratches. If the baby has small red bumps on his face in summer and has the above conditions, it is definitely heat rash. It is recommended to use the following methods to eliminate it:

Baby skin allergies

Skin allergy is one of the most common reasons for small red pimples on babies’ faces. As long as the allergens are eliminated, the small red pimples will disappear naturally. For example, my baby also had small red bumps on his face some time ago. Later, I thought it was probably because the snake plant in the backyard bloomed a few days ago. I took my baby there to play, and because of the pollen allergy, I cut off the flowers of the snake plant. After two days, the baby's small red bumps were completely healed. For baby's skin allergies, I suggest that it is best not to use anti-allergic drugs. The purpose can be achieved as long as the allergens are found and eliminated. Frequent use of medications is not good for babies. As long as the baby is well protected and the skin is kept clean and dry, there will generally be no problems.

Neonatal eczema

The symptoms of neonatal eczema are very similar to those of prickly heat, except that prickly heat is more likely to occur in the summer. The small red bumps on the baby's face will be very itchy, and the baby will often scratch them with his hands or rub his face against you, so as a parent you should always pay attention to your baby's body movements. After confirming that it is neonatal eczema, the most important thing is to care for the baby and bring the baby to a cool and clean room to observe the baby's reaction. Try not to use medication to relieve itching and see if the situation will be relieved. If the baby is still uncomfortable in a comfortable and cool environment, crying and making a fuss, you can consider eczema medication or go to the hospital for treatment.

The above content is an introduction to the question of what the small red bumps on the face of a newborn baby mean. I believe that after reading it, everyone will have some understanding of this aspect. The baby's physical health is more important than anything else. I hope that parents can take good care of their babies. Once there is something wrong with the baby, they must take the baby to a local regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
