Nursing and treatment of red spots on the face of a full-month baby

It is a common phenomenon for many babies to have red spots on their faces when they are one month old. This phenomenon is mostly because the newborn has hormones remaining in the mother's body before birth, which can cause red spots on the baby's face two to four weeks after birth. So how should we deal with this phenomenon?

Baby eczema care:

1. Avoid contact of irritating substances with the skin. Do not wash the affected area with alkaline soap or overly hot water. Do not apply cosmetics or any oils.

2. The room temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will aggravate the itching of eczema. Wear loose-fitting clothes, preferably made of pure cotton.

3. Breastfeeding can prevent eczema caused by allergy to foreign proteins caused by milk feeding.

4. During the period of infant eczema, do not vaccinate against smallpox (smallpox has disappeared and smallpox vaccination is no longer used), and do not come into contact with people with herpes simplex to avoid herpes.

The general treatment principles are: identify allergens, provide symptomatic treatment, provide reasonable feeding, and provide meticulous care.

Generally speaking, we should first observe whether the baby has food allergies, especially allergies to animal proteins such as milk, breast milk or egg white; secondly, the mother can eat fish, shrimp, crab, chicken, etc., which can also be passed on to the baby through breast milk. After eating these animal foods, we should observe whether the baby's skin disease worsens. If it is related to the above conditions, the baby's feeding method should be changed. If the baby is allergic to breast milk, use milk instead. If the baby is allergic to milk, use breast milk instead. Alternatively, the mother should not eat fish, shrimp, crab and other foods during breastfeeding. At the same time, the baby's indigestion, constipation and diarrhea should be treated in time.

2. Commonly used internal medications include diphenhydramine syrup, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, etc. Antibiotics should be added when secondary infection occurs.

3. The topical medication should be determined according to the condition of skin lesions. When there is water exudation, erosion, redness or swelling, apply wet compress with 2% boric acid aqueous solution or 0.1 reflavonoid aqueous solution. After the exudation and erosion disappear, apply topical corticosteroid preparations, such as eczema cream, dehumidifying oil, skin relaxing cream, etc.

From the above article, we learned that when there are red spots on the body, we should first take good care of the child's skin to prevent allergies caused by clogged skin pores.
