Question
My newborn has developed some red dots on their skin right after birth. These red dots become particularly noticeable when they get warm or cry. What could be causing the red dots on my baby’s thin skin?
Answer
This could be an allergic reaction caused by newborn rash or atopic dermatitis. It’s crucial for mothers to pay attention to their diet and avoid consuming fish, shrimp, spicy foods, and other irritants. The home environment should be kept moist. Pay attention to early cleaning for the baby and avoid dressing them in too many clothes. If it’s dermatitis, you can apply some medication to the baby. For newborn rash, there is usually no need for special treatment, and the red dots will fade gradually after about a week.
