Erythema Toxicum

This was how my baby looked like a day after his birth (7th of June 2024). Unfortunately, the next day, he developed red blotches all over his face called Erythema Toxicum. Dr. Lardizabal, our pediatrician, reassured us that this is a common and harmless baby rash that usually disappears within a week or two. No treatment is necessary. A friendly reminder to all new moms: Newborn skin is incredibly delicate, so avoid using oils or ointments unless specifically recommended by your pediatrician. These products can often irritate sensitive baby skin and worsen conditions like Erythema Toxicum.
