The baby was born only eight days ago. The past two days, there were white bubbles in the armpits, and also white bubbles on both sides of the testicles. The navel is getting bigger, looking a bit swollen. Occasionally, the stomach makes gurgling sounds when eating milk. Why do these symptoms occur?Doctor's answer:
Baby born eight days ago, the first two days had white bubbles in the armpits, and there were also bubbles on both sides of the testicles. The umbilicus had a yellow scab.Advice: From the photos, it appears to be heat rash? Is it because the baby is wearing too many clothes? External use of calamine lotion or fusidic acid cream can be considered. Oral cephalosporin antibiotics can also be used. The umbilical cord should be disinfected with povidone-iodine daily. The condition of the testicles is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
