Patient's question:
A 20-day-old baby has developed a large patch of red spots around the buttocks. There are also some on the arms, face, and neck, but not many. Each small red spot is about 2 to 3 millimeters in diameter. Additionally, there seems to be a small white spot corresponding to the upper part of each red spot. I'm not sure if it's eczema. Another concern is that three days ago, the baby was mistakenly given one capsule of amoxicillin. Could this be an allergic reaction to amoxicillin? How should it be treated? How long will it take to heal? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:

The child is threatened by diaper rash, so the mother must take the child to the hospital for timely medical treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Symptomatic treatment should be administered promptly. For parents, it is important to observe changes in the child’s symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
