Question
Dear doctor, some parents have noticed small red dots on their baby’s neck. What could be the cause?
Answer
Hello, the small red dots on a baby’s neck may be due to improper cleaning, combined with hot weather and wearing too many clothes. Additionally, if the baby has vomiting and it is not cleaned up in time, this could also lead to the appearance of these dots. It is recommended to bathe the baby with warm water twice a day and to clean up immediately after vomiting. Since a baby’s neck is shorter, it is suggested to choose clothing with no collar, such as monk-neck shirts. As babies have delicate skin and their sweat pores are not fully developed yet, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, maintain good ventilation indoors, and avoid excessive wrapping.
