Question
The baby’s navel is oozing and has been diagnosed with navel inflammation, with symptoms recurring. There is a suspicion that it might be navel eczema, and I’m inquiring about the treatment duration.
Answer
Hello, based on your description, the baby’s condition seems to be a result of an inflammatory reaction causing leakage, rather than eczema. It is recommended to use antibiotic treatment. Considering your description, the possibility of navel inflammation appears to be higher. You can clean the area with 3% hydrogen peroxide or 75% alcohol, and avoid contamination from urine or feces. I hope my response is helpful.
