Question

My child is 12 days old, and there are some small blisters on their neck. What could it be?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, small blisters on a newborn’s neck could be eczema. Eczema is a chronic and recurrent skin condition. It is recommended to use an antipruritic and antiseptic ointment, such as Bao Pu Ling, to apply to the affected area. If you are breastfeeding, the mother should pay attention to her diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
