What is the situation when many small red bumps appear on a baby's head and face?

Patient's question:

Red bumps appeared on my head and face, and the tops of the bumps are like small white dots. They haven't appeared on my body yet. What could be the problem?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it might be infantile eczema. A commonly used treatment is to apply a 1:10,000 potassium permanganate solution as a wet compress (note that it is essential to ensure the potassium permanganate is completely dissolved; undissolved potassium permanganate can burn the baby's skin). This helps keep the wound clean while also having antibacterial, astringent, and oxidizing effects.
The child is threatened by neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately. Avoid using medication blindly to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to closely observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
