Question
My baby is almost two months old, and there are small red bumps on her face. After a few days, they start to ooze yellow fluid and then scab over. When the scabs are about to fall off, there’s a red ring around them, and it gets bigger and bigger. There are also red rings on her head. People say this is toxemia. I want to ask if a baby with toxemia can use Vitamin E?
Answer
Hello, parent. Your baby should have baby eczema. Baby eczema is a very common pediatric skin condition. It is recommended to apply baby-specific cream for treatment and gradually improve over time, usually beyond the age of 2. Avoid overheating the baby. Do not take a bath with water that is too hot. Do not wear too warm clothes. Do not cover the baby too warmly. Ensure the baby is well-hydrated during the day to help detoxify. Have a light diet.
