Question
A 3-month-old baby has developed small red spots on the face and body, which later turned into pus-filled blisters and eventually scabbed over. New red spots appeared shortly after. Parents are wondering how to use massage to help the baby eliminate Fetal toxin.
Answer
These symptoms may be related to baby eczema, a common allergic dermatitis. Possible causes might include allergies or intolerance to food, inhaled substances, or contact materials. When performing baby massage, it’s important to keep the baby’s skin clean and dry. During bath time, use warm water and a non-alkaline baby wash to clean the baby’s body. For baby contact dermatitis, it’s especially important to avoid exposing the skin to cold air or intense sunlight. Massage should be performed under a doctor’s guidance to ensure it does not exacerbate the skin condition.
