Question

What kind of rash is this on my newborn's face, neck and ears and how can I treat it?She's 5 weeks old. I breastfeed but she gets a bottle of formula once or twice a day when my husband feeds her.

Answer

Looks like when my baby had eczema. Doc. recommended aquaphore wash and aquaphore healing ointment, worked like a charm.

Answer

My first child had a rash like that as a newborn, in his case it was baby acne from my hormones leaving his body. Have the pediatrician check

Answer

My daughter had that until I put sudacream on it after I wipe her face.. It went away the next day! It's like pimples and scabs at the same time..

Answer

Looks like eczema or baby acne. When my LO had acne/eczema her pediatrician suggested bathing her in Dove sensitive skin soap and vanicream 2-3xs a day (you can order it on amazon). I also used Eucerin Eczema lotion after every bath. This combo cleared it up and we've had no problems since.

Answer

Looks like it could be a lactose intolerance. I would take her to the doctor.

Answer

Could be from your hormones, take her to the doctors is my best answer

Answer

You guys is allergic to the proteins in milk not the lactose. Cutting out dairy made a big difference. I started putting coconut oil on his face several times a day and Aquaphor in the morning and at night and now he has beautiful skin:) I have started to slowly introduce dairy back into my diet and his skin is still beautiful. He is 8 weeks. Good luck with your little cutie!
