Question

Why do 50-day-old babies have red and swollen eyelids?

Answer

Hello, the skin around a baby’s eyelids is very delicate, so slight edema may first appear on the eyelids. Common causes include allergies, insect bites, vascular nerve edema, or chalazion. Edema can be either inflammatory or non-inflammatory. We recommend that in daily life, you pay attention to keeping your baby’s eyes clean and hygienic, and that the towels used by the baby should be separate from those used by adults.
