Baby is 11 days old and has acne on their face with pus, what's the reason?

Patient's question:

Baby just born for 11 days has developed acne on her face. Some of them feel like they contain pus, similar to acne, and they are getting more and more. What could be the reason? Is it due to digestive issues or neonatal toxicity eczema? Should I apply any ointment?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, the baby's symptoms are generally caused by eczema. It is recommended to apply some eczema treatment externally. If the baby is breastfeeding, it is advised that the mother avoids spicy, irritating, and greasy foods in her daily diet. Avoid consuming easily allergenic foods such as beef, lamb, and seafood. Drink plenty of water and prevent stomach issues. Keep the home well-ventilated, avoiding excessive heat and humidity.
