Suggest Medication For Red Spot On New Born Baby
Hello.. My 3 month old was born with a red spot on the back of her head. I just noticed today that it looks irritated and flaky. I noticed as I was washing her hair because she started to cry. I am using California baby eczema wash as she has eczema. What can I do ? I put moisturizer but I m not sure that will help

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
It is difficult to say without seeing it.
But I think it may be scatch infected or a hemangioma.
Hemangioma is not painful and wanes after applying pressure.
Local application of antibiotic ointment may be tried for a few days.
Consult dermatologist if it does nor subside.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
