Question
My baby was born 11 days ago and has developed pimples on the face. Some of them feel like there’s pus inside, resembling acne. The number of pimples is increasing. What’s going on?
Answer
Based on your description, these symptoms in your baby are typically caused by eczema. It is appropriate to apply some eczema treatment ointment externally. If the baby is breastfed, it is recommended that the mother avoid eating spicy, irritating, and greasy foods in daily life. Do not consume foods that are easy to cause allergies, such as beef, mutton, and seafood. Drink plenty of water and avoid stomach upset. Keep the home well-ventilated, and avoid excessive heat and humidity.
