My 3-month-old baby has pimples with itchy red rashes in cheeks and forehead. Is this eczema?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your history thoroughly and saw all the photos (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it suggests your baby has atopic dermatitis. It is a common condition in children and can be managed easily with proper care. Hydrocortisone cream is good and mild for baby, so you can apply that for 10 days but in a very small quantity like a drop for the whole face. Apply Mupirocin cream once daily only for seven days. Apply a good moisturizer at least three to four times daily on a little bit wet skin. Give antihistaminic syrup for seven days. Use very mild soap and shampoo for baby. I do not know if you will get it there, but Teddy bar and Atogla lotion are really good for the baby. Do not worry, it will resolve with medicines. Recurrence may occur that is why always apply moisturizer and this condition improves with age.

Yes, it is a variant of eczema only. Mupirocin is a topical antibiotic cream and it is a generic name, so you should get this, just find out the brand name. And syrup I advised, you may search for Levocetirizine hydrochloride syrup or Cetirizine syrup. No, do not use Aveeno eczema cream you can use normal Aveeno moisturizer.
