Why do newborns get red spots on their buttocks

Patient's question:

A newborn had red spots on their buttocks at twelve days old, and they were all over their buttocks.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described, your baby may have eczema. It is recommended to clean the affected area of the baby with warm water and avoid using soap-based facial products. In most cases, eczema is also known as "milk rash." The onset of baby eczema is usually caused by food containing irritating ingredients or certain chemical components in clothing that cause irritation. If your baby is breastfed, it is advisable to adjust your diet, maintain a balanced diet, and strictly avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy, irritating foods, including seafood. Change clothes frequently and ensure that the environment where the baby is located is clean and dry. If the medication does not work, it is recommended to seek medical attention for allergy treatment.
