Question
Why does my 27-day-old baby have so many small red dots on his face? Four days ago, there were many small red dots on his face, but he has no other discomfort symptoms. What could this be?
Answer
This could be a manifestation of infant eczema. Eczema is one of the most common skin diseases in infants, often related to an imperfect gastrointestinal system. The root cause may be that certain babies with allergic tendencies absorb certain substances through their thinner intestinal walls, which can lead to red spots on the skin. To treat eczema, it is recommended to improve the baby’s gastrointestinal system by introducing probiotics to maintain intestinal health. Additionally, keeping the baby’s skin dry and clean and avoiding external stimuli can also help improve the symptoms of eczema.
