What Should Be Done For The Spots On Legs Of A 3 Month Baby After Starting Formula Milk?

I used to feed my baby Liptomil plus 1 since one month together with breast milk. Now my baby is 3 months and four weeks old. Currently I started to feed him Nan formula milk, then some spots appear on his legs, he tries to itch it by rubbing his legs. What should I do. (Shalom from Ethiopia)

Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
May be your baby is having allergy to some of the contents of the new feed that you started. Please consult your doctor. |A physical examination is nessary to confirm if it is skin allergy or not. Please stop the formula at the earliest.
Please consult your doctor for a physical examination. Your doctor may order certain investigations based on the physical examination findings. Diagnosis and further management depends on the investigation reports and physical examination findings.


Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
