Suggest Treatment For Marks On Face And Body
Question: I have new born baby boy, DOB: 20-Nov-2014. He is having some of the marks on his body and on his face as well. Sometime they used to decrease and increase automatically. Can you suggest me some lotion/Cream or anything to cure them.
Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
For a month old marks on body and face coming on and off could mean multiple possibilities. Many of these like pityriasis XXXXXXX need no treatment except frequent face wash and avoiding baby powder and using moisturising lotion like dermadew.
But some could indicate fungal infections which need specific antifungal ointments.
Do send some pictures.
What colour are the marks?
Any itching?
Any red spots around them?
Get back with more information and pictures if possible.
