If your baby has small red bumps on his face, it is likely infant eczema, commonly known as "milk rash", which is an allergic skin disease caused by allergies to foods such as milk, breast milk and egg white. It may also be a skin disease caused by genetic predisposition. If mom and dad suffered from eczema when they were young, their babies are also prone to eczema.

A baby's skin is very delicate and even the slightest stimulation can cause the baby's skin to become sick. Infant eczema usually appears between 1 month and 2 years old after birth, and is most severe in babies aged 2-3 months. It often occurs on the cheeks, scalp, forehead, between the eyebrows, neck, under the jaw or behind the ears, and may also spread to other parts of the body. The rash has similar appearances. Some babies have flushed skin covered with yellow greasy scales or scabs, while others have flushed skin covered with rashes and small blisters.

No matter which kind of rash it is, it is accompanied by waves of severe itching. Babies often lean on their mothers' bodies and rub against them to relieve the itching until the small blisters break and form large areas of red and moist erosions. At this time, there is a lot of exudate, which can soak clothes and bedding, form scabs after drying, and may also develop into purulent infection or cause swelling of nearby lymph nodes. Milk rash will heal quickly with proper treatment, but it often recurs. Most cases will disappear on their own after weaning, but some cases will take a long time to heal. The rash will be alleviated during fever and aggravated during teething. It is more severe in winter and spring and lighter in summer.
