Patient's question:
The baby has been born for 5 days, and many red rashes suddenly appeared on their face. The rashes are large and red, which is particularly distressing. My mother-in-law says this is due to "congenital poison." I want to know what exactly "congenital poison" looks like?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby has been born for 5 days and has suddenly developed many red rashes on their face. The large areas of redness are particularly striking. Considering the baby's sensitive constitution, it is likely eczema-like dermatitis caused by allergies. This condition is more common in breastfed infants. It is recommended to treat the baby with topical Chinese medicine or herbal remedies. It is advisable to first visit the hospital for a detailed examination before starting treatment, and to maintain hygiene and dryness.
