is this a cause for concern?

Question

Should I call my midwife I’m clueless to what this could be, it appeared over night and he’s also got slight red patches around his other eye. He’s only 3 days old

Answer

It could be allergy’s or he could have sensitive skin. Did you wash all of his close and everything your using in him in dreft? My daughter has had something similar to that and it was an allergic reaction to cat hair.

Answer

Has his eyes been getting goopy and crusting over? It looks like what happened to my daughter. She was almost two weeks old when she started to develop a bunch of  bumps around her eyes. They were under her eyes on her eyelids, between the eyes starting to get up to her forehead. At first I thought baby acne but the next night the bumps were so red and the redness surrounded the bumps I took her to the emergency room. I was so worried that maybe she was having a reaction to something that I had eaten, because I have food allergies myself and thought she could too. As it turned out it was just irritation from her eyes leaking and getting goopy and the very next day the irritation started to ease and all the redness disappeared within about a week and a half.

Answer

It could also be infant acne. If you're really worried about it, it wouldn't hurt take Baby to the pediatrician to have it checked out. You could also try washing his face with Baby Dove soap for sensitive skin. You lather it in your hands and wash Baby's face and rinse. Baby Dove helped clear my son's acne when he was around that age.

Answer

Daughter had the same looking rash so i just put breast milk on it and it went away within a couple of hours.. If the baby lays on that side then it's a great rash.
