Question

What causes white specks on a baby’s face? My child has had this for a while now, and I’m worried it might get worse.

Answer

According to the description of the child’s condition, a 7-day-old baby has white specks on their face, which appears to be eczema and may be caused by a viral infection. Treatment can include applying eczema cream locally. Based on the child’s condition, it is recommended to feed them reasonably, take the baby out to get more sun exposure to boost their immune system, start supplementing with vad drops at 15 days, and regularly bring the baby to the hospital pediatric clinic for monitoring their growth and development.
