Why do babies get small white spots the size of rice grains on their foreheads

Patient's question:

Around three months ago, my baby started developing small white spots the size of rice grains on the forehead. Now at five and a half months, a few more have appeared near the right eyebrow recently. Which department should I consult?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, it is necessary to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis. However, it is important to consider the cause, while not ruling out the possibility of bacterial infection dermatitis. Therefore, it is best to visit the dermatology department of the hospital for an in-person examination to make an initial assessment, followed by a clear diagnosis. After that, symptomatic treatment can be administered. If the dermatitis is caused by a bacterial infection, using Sulfurin for children generally yields good results. Under normal circumstances, it usually fades after a period of time. If your baby's condition hasn't improved after this duration, you should consult a pediatrician at the hospital.
