Patient's question:
Rash appeared on the baby the second day after birth, tiny little dots. Later, some of them healed, but new ones popped up in other places. There are so many of these rashes on the baby's shoulders. What is this? The baby is one month old, and the rashes are getting more and more. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Infants and young children are prone to eczema or heat rash, which are usually caused by overheating. It is important to monitor the outdoor temperature, adjust the child's clothing accordingly, avoid over-wearing, bathe the child frequently, and drink some warm water moderately to prevent heatstroke. Additionally, proper skin care should be maintained, minimizing contact and avoiding irritation to the child's skin. Meanwhile, the mother should avoid spicy and irritating foods for observation, and seek medical attention if necessary.
