女儿今天整一个月了,小小的脸上长出了无数疹子,皮肤红红的,一直以为是痱子,可是天气渐渐凉快了,疹子还没有下去的征象,看着她惨不忍睹的小脸,心里真是难受。
约了医生检查,医生说是eczema,开了2.5% hydrocortisone让涂在脸上。我很不放心,一来药物的浓度太高了,二来用在脸上。连药师都说一般不用在脸上,因为会导致皮肤thining。问了两个朋友,他们的孩子都曾经患过很重的eczema,都说听起来不像湿疹,更象baby acne,而且从发生的时间也更偏向baby acne.难道这些医生都是蒙古大夫?找了关于baby acne的文章参考。

Baby Acne

Introduction:
To many parents' dismay, their beautiful newborn's face breaks out with red bumps. This is called baby acne. It tends to occur at about the same age as the baby's peak gas production and fussiness. How attractive! (This all coincides with parents' maximum sleep deprivation.) Parents are often quite concerned both about how these bumps look and about their significance.

What is it?
The bumps of baby acne are quickly fleeting evidence of the connection between a mother’s body and her baby’s. During the final moments of pregnancy, her hormones cross the placenta into her child. Among other things (such as maturing the lungs), this stimulates the oil glands on the skin, eventually giving rise to the baby acne.

Who gets it?
Baby acne is a common newborn condition. It can be present at birth, but typically appears at 3 to 4 weeks of age.

What are the symptoms?
Fleshy or red pimples occur predominately on the cheeks, but are also quite common on the forehead and chin. Whiteheads are sometimes present.

The acne will be most prominent when the baby is hot or fussy (increased blood flow to the skin), or when the skin is irritated. If the skin comes into contact with cloth laundered in harsh detergents, or becomes wet from spit-up saliva or milk, the condition may appear worse for several days.

Is it contagious?
Babies develop the acne from the maturing effect of mothers’ hormones.

How long does it last?
This condition tends to come and go until the baby is between 4 and 6 months old.

How is it diagnosed?
Baby acne is recognized based on the timing and appearance.

How is it treated?
Usually, no treatment is necessary. It can help to gently cleanse the face once a day with water, and perhaps mild baby soap. Oils and lotions do not help, and may aggravate the condition. If the acne is severe or lasts beyond 6 months, your pediatrician may prescribe a mild medicine to help.

How can it be prevented?
Baby acne is a normal stage that is difficult to prevent. Try to take many pictures before the baby acne begins.

You can expect that the rash will soon be a memory. The oil glands will disappear, and you won't see the acne again until you turn around once, and your baby is a teenager. This time the acne will be evidence of hormones transforming your baby into an a
