Normal finding in newborns
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the image attached. Please be reassured that these rashes are quite normal in newborns and can be seen for a month or so. It is not caused due to reaction to anything. Nothing needs to be done about it. In case you are too apprehensive you can apply T-Bact ointment (mupirocin) over them and there should be no problems with the same. No other medicine suggested. Please continue breast feeding as usual.
Hope that helps.
Regards
