Patient's question:
Baby has many small red bumps on the chin, around the eyes, and behind the ears. My baby is 76 days old, a male. Since the day before yesterday, he has developed large patches of small red bumps on his chin, around the eyes, and below the ears. They are very small. Last night, I wiped him with lukewarm water and used iodine for sterilization, but they are still there today. They become more noticeable when he feeds or gets agitated, but they are less visible when he sleeps. Additionally, some of the bumps around his eyes and below the ears have a bit of peeling. Today, I also developed small red bumps all over my face. Could this be seasonal allergies? How should I treat it? Thank you.What kind of help is needed: How should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Suffering from lymphadenitis requires additional antibiotic treatment based on the specific location and the type of bacteria causing the inflammation. Therefore, it is necessary to determine which part is inflamed and what type of inflammation it is. Inflammation can be either non-specific or specific, so without a clear diagnosis, it is recommended to seek medical attention for a thorough examination and avoid using medications blindly. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby has many small red bumps on the chin, around the eyes, and behind the ears?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
