Patient's question:
Two-month-old baby has a lot of white flakes on the head, some of which are yellowish. After applying purple ointment for two days, it has slightly improved. Accidentally touched the fontanelle today and there were many, is it okay?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, consider whether the child might have eczema. It is recommended to take the child to the dermatology department of the hospital for a follow-up examination. Treatment should be administered after a diagnosis is made, as this will yield better results. It's not a concern if you feel the fontanel, as long as you don't apply forceful pressure, it won't cause harm to the fontanel. However, be careful to avoid the fontanel area as much as possible, as it is a fragile part and requires special attention.
