What is the reason for the thin skin and red spots of newborns?

Patient's question:

When my child was just born, some red spots appeared on their skin. Especially when exposed to heat or crying, the red spots on their skin became particularly noticeable. What could be the reason for the thin skin and red spots on the child?

Doctor's answer:

This could also be caused by allergies due to neonatal erythema or allergic eczema. The key is for the mother to pay close attention to her diet and avoid fish, shrimp, spicy, and other irritating foods. The home must be kept moist, and the baby should be cleaned early. Do not dress the baby too warmly if it is eczema, and apply some medication to the child. If it is neonatal erythema, it generally does not require treatment and will gradually subside within about a week.
