A one-month-old male baby has a cough and pimples on his face, what is the situation?

Patient's question:

For over a month, the male baby has been coughing and sniffling without a fever or runny nose. He has developed pimples on his face, and it's unclear if it's eczema or something else. We've been using mupirocin ointment, but the pimples still keep appearing. There's also a small red spot near his eye.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it is related to greasy diet with your mother. It is recommended that you focus on applying Mupirocin ointment or Clindamycin metronidazole gel externally to him, once in the morning and once at night, until he is fully healed. Additionally, during breastfeeding, you must maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy, sweet, greasy, seafood, grilled meat, alcohol, and other foods. Pay attention to personal hygiene, actively maintain the cleanliness of your temporary living environment and bedding. Wear plain clothes and avoid using cosmetics, eye makeup, lipstick, etc., which are beneficial for your baby's skin health.
