Patient's question:
The child is less than two months old. What kind of cosmetics can I use now? Can I use a face mask? Can I use spot removal cosmetics? First question supplement: A few days ago, I took the child out, and after I applied makeup, the child's skin touched my face. Now there is eczema on the child's face. Is there a relationship? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
It is not recommended to use cosmetics during breastfeeding. Cosmetics often contain substances such as fragrances and dyes. Poor-quality cosmetics may even contain excessive amounts of mercury and other harmful ingredients. If a breastfeeding mother frequently uses these products, they can easily enter the bloodstream through the skin and then into the milk. Once the baby consumes this milk, it may affect their normal growth and development or damage their liver and kidney function. Additionally, a baby's skin is very delicate. After prolonged close contact with the mother, it is inevitable that they will come into contact with cosmetics, which may lead to skin allergies.
