Question

Can milk be used to rub a baby’s face when it shows dry cracks? The baby has previously had milk rash.

Answer

It is recommended to conduct a trace element test, as a deficiency in vitamin A may cause skin itching and dryness. It is advisable to supplement vitamins B2, B1, B6, and C in moderate amounts (taking them in small doses multiple times is more effective than a single large intake of vitamin A. Since vitamin A can be stored in the body for a long time, it should not be supplemented long-term.) Dry cracks on a baby’s face may be due to wind exposure, so when going out, it is recommended to use baby skincare products. It is suggested to include more fruits and vegetables in the diet. Currently, calamine lotion can be used for treatment at home.
