Question
My baby’s neck and chin are often red and rough, with a bumpy texture, like eczema, and very itchy. They can’t sleep well every night. What is this, and what ointment should I use?
Answer
Based on your description, the rash is itchy and recurrent, suggesting it might be eczema. It’s recommended to avoid scratching to prevent the infection from spreading. If you are breastfeeding, the mother should follow a light diet. The baby should wear loose, breathable cotton clothing, avoid using hot water for washing and strong irritant soaps. Calamine lotion can be applied externally. These are the suggestions for this issue, hoping they will be helpful to you, wishing you health!
