Question
How should neonatal toxic erythema be treated, and what should we pay attention to?
Answer
Neonatal toxic erythema, also known as neonatal urticaria, is a common neonatal condition characterized by temporary skin disease with red rashes, papules, and purulent blisters. It typically occurs within the first two weeks after birth. Mild to moderate cases usually do not require special treatment and simply require maintaining clean skin. This condition is self-limiting and does not usually lead to serious complications, so isolation is not necessary. The home temperature should not be too high, and if breastfeeding, the mother’s diet should be as light as possible.
