Patient's question:
The baby is 50 days old now and has a bit of jaundice. There are red rashes on the face, and they feel rough when touched. Under the mouth, it's like eczema, and it gets redder when exposed to heat. There are also some scabs now, and sometimes it looks like a map with a pattern and feels a bit hard. These symptoms only occur on the face.Doctor's answer:
Consider eczema based on the picture. It's related to the continuous increase in sebum secretion and the destruction of the skin barrier. There's no major issue, so don't worry. It is recommended to apply benzoic acid ointment externally twice a day, or use medical skincare products such as Weinona's Hydrating Cream multiple times a day.For acute eczema, local saline, 3% boric acid, or potassium permanganate solution (1:2000 to 1:10000) can be used for washing and wet compresses. Calamine lotion can be applied to soothe and protect the skin.
For subacute and chronic eczema, use appropriate corticosteroid creams, tar preparations, or immunomodulators such as tacrolimus ointment or pimecrolimus ointment. If there is secondary infection, add antibiotic preparations.
