Question
The baby’s face and body are covered with small red spots, which gradually turn into small blisters containing pus, then scab over, and soon new red spots appear. How should I perform massage on the baby to eliminate toxemia?
Answer
The symptoms the baby is experiencing are likely eczema, which may be caused by factors such as genetics, environmental humidity, infection, allergic reactions, or friction irritation. For such cases, it is recommended to apply suitable eczema ointments for infants locally. At the same time, maintain good indoor air circulation and keep the temperature and humidity at a comfortable level, avoiding friction irritation. Breastfeeding mothers should maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy, stimulating food and overly greasy foods.
