Question
Red spots have appeared on the newborn’s body, and I am unsure of the cause and how to assist.
Answer
According to the description, the newborn’s rash may be eczema. It is suggested to go to the hospital for a check-up and use 2% to 3% boric acid solution for cold compresses, or use traditional Chinese herbs like honeysuckle and dandelion to make a decoction for cold compresses. It is also recommended to consume more vitamin C, B1, and B6 regularly and avoid using hot or boiling water to clean the affected area.
