Is it possible that the red spots on the baby at 1 month are caused by hormone interference from the atomized medicine?

Patient's question:

Baby was born with good skin, now 1 month and 5 days old! There are these small red spots on the face. What could be the reason? At 20 days, a thorough check-up revealed mild bronchopneumonia, and Amoxicillin was prescribed. At 25 days, another thorough check-up showed it had improved to bronchitis. Now, they are focusing on taking Amoxicillin again and have also prepared a nebulizer for inhalation. Is it possible that the medication in the nebulizer interferes with hormones? Or what could be the cause? Will it fade away?

Doctor's answer:

Unless there is a drug allergy, it may repeatedly cause symptoms of rash. If it is only on the face, it is considered to be eczema. This condition mainly occurs in infants aged 1-3 months, commonly affecting the head and face, especially the cheeks and forehead, which are most frequently affected. In severe cases, the trunk and limbs may also be affected. The typical skin lesions are characterized by dense redness, papules, vesicles, etc., which gradually spread to the surrounding area when they merge. It is important to seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment.
