Baby is 50 days old now and has a little jaundice, what should I do?

Patient's question:

The baby is 50 days old now and has a bit of jaundice. There are red rashes on the face, and they feel rough when touched. Under the mouth, it's also like eczema, getting redder when exposed to heat. There are also some scabs now, sometimes looking like a map with patches and a bit hard. These symptoms only occur on the face.

Doctor's answer:

Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the original Chinese line breaks preserved:
"Consider eczema based on the picture. It's related to the continuous increase in sebum secretion and the destruction of the skin barrier. There's no major issue, so don't worry. It is recommended to apply Benzoic Acid Cream externally twice a day, or use medical skincare products such as Vinora's Softening Moisturizing Cream multiple times a day.
For acute eczema, local saline solution, 3% boric acid, or potassium permanganate solution (1:2000 to 1:10000) can be used for wiping and wet compresses. Calamine lotion can help soothe and protect the skin.
For subacute and chronic eczema, appropriate corticosteroid creams, tar preparations, or immunomodulators like Tacrolimus Ointment and Pimecrolimus Cream should be used. If there is secondary infection, add antibiotic preparations."
