On the face of an infant appeared strange rashes - mum panics! Do not be scared, it's only neonatal acne. This rash on the face of the baby - not an allergy and infectious disease! It is not dangerous, and does not require special medical treatment. Most often, the child's rash goes away for 1-3 months. Do pimples like rashes in children is not comedo - clogged time.

Newborn rash on face - causes, agents, treatment

During the first month of life on the face and scalp child (at least - on the neck and upper back) can suddenly appear red inflamed pimples, some have a white dot in the center - a rash. They are called hormone rash, acne newborn, neonatal acne - mommy just say - a rash in infants. The full medical name - neonatal (newborn) cephalic (located on the head) pustulosis (small pustular rash). NCP appears in 20-30% of children.

Neonatal acne - one of the awful horror of young mothers, along with increased intracranial pressure, and lactase deficiency rickets. Let's see, is it scary by nature, this rash on the child's face, as she looks at the children's tender little face.

Doctors attributed the occurrence of rash in a child with the establishment of hormonal newborn, as well as excessive settlement of skin yeast fungi of the genus Malassezia (mainly Malassezia sympodialis or Malassezia globosa), which normally are part of the normal flora of children.

Our studies demonstrated the presence of Malassezia in smears of the elements of this rash in children, but more than 38% of the samples mushrooms were not identified. This can be explained by the fact that on the face of this child develops a rash due to an overgrowth of yeast lipophilic, which leads to an inflammatory reaction of monomorphic papules and pustules. Multiplication of yeasts preceded by androgens stimulate the sebaceous glands of the mother or of the child. This hormonal impulse leads to an increased formation of sebum, clogging pores and follicles - and this is a favorable breeding ground for fungi - and as a result - the face of the child has a rash.

Given that such a rash is characterized by the child's spontaneous and independent resolution, in most cases, treatment is not required. Should not "dry a little" skin - it can damage it and increase during the NCP.

General advice:
1. Wash daily with boiled water
2. Optimize the physical parameters of the Air temperature 18-21C, humidity 40-70%
3. If a large part of the face of a child struck by a rash shown topical ketoconazole creams that reduce the duration of illness
4. The regular menu is a nursing mother can take (hypoallergenic diet moms do not reduce the amount of rash on the face of the child)

With this rash in children is not as useful:
• Antihistamines (tablets, ointments, drops)
• Alcohol-based solutions (brilliant green, calendula tinctur, etc.)
• A solution of potassium permanganate
• Hormonal ointment
• antibiotics
• Fatty ointments and oils
• Powders
• Adsorbents ( smectite, activated charcoal, etc.)
• lactic acid bacteria, etc.

Good luck!
