What are the red spots on my body?

Hello, eczema is a natural immune adaptation process for babies to the external environment after birth. Exposure to an environment or a new food may cause eczema in babies. If the eczema is not serious, it can be left untreated and the baby will recover as it grows up. However, if the baby's eczema has not subsided after one year old, the mother should take the baby to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

Condition Analysis: The skin of a newborn baby ten days old needs a process of adapting to the environment. Most of them will have small red spots like you mentioned. This is generally a process that the skin has to go through to adapt. Some newborns may even have peeling skin.

Suggestions: Just take good care of the baby in daily life. As long as the baby doesn't cry all the time and eats on time, there will generally be no problem. Observe more, keep warm when the weather changes, and be careful to protect the baby's hands so that they don't scratch the skin.

What is neonatal eczema

Infant eczema is a common skin disease in infants. It is an allergic disease. The exact cause is sometimes difficult to find. Infant eczema is usually called "milk ringworm". If the drug used to treat "ringworm" is used to treat infant eczema, the condition will worsen. Infant eczema is an allergic reaction of hereditary allergic constitution to certain factors in the environment. The exact cause is not very clear, and it is currently believed to be related to both genetic and immune abnormalities. This kind of infant is often accompanied by other allergic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis, asthmatic bronchitis, urticaria and other diseases.

Causes of neonatal eczema

1. Direct causes of baby eczema are complex, among which allergic factors are the most important. Therefore, babies with a family history of allergies (such as father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, brothers and sisters and other family members have had eczema, allergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, asthma, food allergies and drug allergies, etc.) are prone to eczema.

2. Triggering factors For babies with eczema, many substances can trigger or aggravate the symptoms of eczema, such as protein in food, especially fish, shrimp, eggs and milk, contact with chemicals (skin care products, toiletries, detergents, etc.), wool products, chemical fiber products, plants (various plant pollens), animal leather and feathers, infection (viral infection, bacterial infection, etc.), sunlight exposure, high ambient temperature or wearing too warm or cold clothes, etc., can stimulate the baby's eczema to recur or worsen. There is a special type of pediatric eczema that tends to occur around the child's anus and is often accompanied by pinworm infection, called pinworm eczema.

3. Internal causes of infant eczema Infants are prone to eczema due to their own factors. This is because the stratum corneum of infants' skin is relatively thin, the capillary network is rich, and the endothelium contains more water and chloride, which makes them more sensitive to various stimuli, so it is also called infant eczema. Pediatric eczema itself is not caused by moisture, but moisture can make eczema worse. After bathing the child or after the child sweats, the rash will become more obvious. The first time parents pay attention to it is often after bathing, so they attribute the cause to moisture factors such as not drying the body after bathing.
