Question
My newborn is 13 days old, and there are lumps around their eyes. Both eye corners have them, and the symptoms vary, sometimes looking like they might become purulent.
Answer
Based on the description, this may be due to eczema or regional infection. It is recommended to alternate the use of erythromycin eye ointment and baby eczema cream for the regional symptoms. If the condition does not improve or worsens, it is advised to take the baby to a dermatology or otolaryngology department for a follow-up consultation. This is the recommendation for the question ‘What are the lumps around a newborn’s eyes?’ and I hope it is helpful. Wishing the baby good health!
