Question
My baby is 51 days old, and there is peeling on their face and head, with more severe peeling around the eyes. Along with many small red dots, could it be eczema? Should I use medication?
Answer
Based on your description, it’s possible that the baby has eczema, and the peeling might be related to dry weather. It’s recommended to apply purple medicine externally, which can be done multiple times a day without limit. Pay attention to a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and clean the affected area with warm water daily. Additionally, baby eczema is a skin allergic disease caused by the baby’s own immunity. In this case, it’s suggested to use baby-specific eczema cream externally and also take probiotics to nourish the gastrointestinal function, thereby enhancing the baby’s own immunity.
