Question

My newborn baby, just over 20 days old, has small red bumps all over their body with white tips. What’s going on and what should I do?

Answer

Hello, your baby’s condition may be considered heat rash, but it could also be eczema. Heat rash is usually caused by overheating, humidity, or lack of ventilation, and symptoms include red rashes on the skin, white bumps on the rash, and itching. It is recommended to use baby powder, bathe frequently, and adjust clothing according to the weather changes to avoid overheating, being too cold, or catching a cold. If the symptoms do not improve, please visit the hospital for a follow-up examination as soon as possible. I hope my advice is helpful to you.
