Patient's question:
The baby has many red dots on both cheeks. After applying calamine lotion and various eczema creams, it hasn't improved. Washing the face with mugwort leaves also showed no effect. Besides the face, there are no red dots elsewhere.Doctor's answer:
The facial skin of children is primarily characterized by eczema and dermatitis. Due to frequent recurrence, it is recommended to undergo an allergen test (food intolerance) to check if there are also red spots on other parts of the body, as well as whether family members exhibit similar symptoms. The purpose is to rule out scabies and allergic constitution.After diagnosing eczema and dermatitis, the treatment plan is as follows:
- Medical healing biofilm applied twice a day (morning and evening)
- Hydrocortisone butyrate applied once a day (noon)
- Bacitracin ointment applied once a day (afternoon)
- Gentle cleansing of the skin with warm water
