Question

A six-month-old baby has developed red spots on the back, and the symptoms have recurred after using a cream prescribed by a doctor. The rash has started to peel off, and the parents are concerned about the side effects of the hormone cream. What kind of skin condition is it, and how should they deal with it?

Answer

This situation may be related to the baby’s individual constitution. If the symptoms reappear when the temperature drops, it might be due to the baby wearing too many clothes. Consider stopping the use of the cream for a period and observing the baby’s condition before deciding whether to continue. Additionally, ensure that the baby’s clothing is well-ventilated. When giving the baby a bath, you can use talcum powder to gently clean the area. Make sure the baby is also consuming enough fluids.
