What I want to tell you today is what’s going on with the small blisters on a newborn’s face? As we all know, newborns have poor immunity, so they are well cared for from the moment they are born. Adults will become very worried if a child has a minor illness. So what happens when a newborn baby has small blisters on his face? Let’s take a look at what’s going on with the small blisters on a newborn’s face?

It could be eczema. Infant eczema is a common skin disease in infancy and is an allergic disease. The exact cause is sometimes difficult to find. Infant eczema is usually called "milk ringworm". If drugs used to treat "ringworm" are used to treat infant eczema, the condition will worsen. Infant eczema is first seen in infants aged 2-3 months, mostly occurring on the cheeks, forehead, between the eyebrows and head. In severe cases, it may also occur on the trunk and limbs. In the early stage, it is erythema, and later it develops into small dot-like papules and blisters, which are very itchy. The blisters are broken, exudate flows out, and scabs are formed after drying. The lesions are often distributed symmetrically. Eczema is sometimes a dry type, with a small amount of grayish-white bran-like scaling on the small papules. It can also be seborrheic type, with light yellow oily liquid oozing out of small maculopapules and later forming scabs. It is more common on the top of the head, between the eyebrows, beside the nose, and behind the ears, but the itching is not too obvious.

Prevention of baby eczema: Prevention of baby eczema is very important. Children's underwear should usually be made of soft and loose cotton or fine fabrics, not chemical fiber fabrics. Avoid wool fabrics and knitted clothes for both inner and outer clothing. It is best to wear cotton padded jackets, cotton-padded jackets, flannel shirts, etc.

Pay close attention to the child's digestive status and whether he or she is allergic to foods such as milk, eggs, fish, and shrimp. Breastfeeding mothers should avoid eating such foods that are likely to cause allergies.

Children should avoid irritation from alkaline soaps, cosmetics or perfumes. Do not receive BCG or other preventive vaccinations during the illness period. Avoid contact with patients with herpes simplex (commonly known as "fever sores") to prevent the development of herpetic eczema.

The above is the relevant content about small blisters on the face of newborns. If parents are not sure whether the small blisters on their children’s faces are eczema or chickenpox. It is recommended that parents take their children to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible, and do not use some folk remedies on their children. If they are not careful and not handled properly, the condition of the small blisters on the child's face may become more serious. I hope this can help everyone.
