Patient's question:
Hello! My child is now two months old, and there are many red rashes on their forehead, looking like a patch of red with yellow scabs. The top of their head looks like it's peeling off, but I don't know the reason.Doctor's answer:
Many small particles on a baby's forehead could be facial acne. Especially during infancy, it may develop infantile acne or neonatal acne. Generally speaking, since babies have male hormones in their bodies before birth, after birth, to some extent, it promotes the secretion of sebum by facial sebaceous glands, leading to local inflammation and causing acne. After birth, eczema may also appear on the face, which is known as infantile eczema. Infantile eczema is often related to improper postnatal care, such as excessive clothing or too many sheets, which may trigger eczema.
