Facial eczema (atopic dermatitis) is common in 3-month-old babies—usually appearing as red, bumpy, sometimes slightly wet or crusted patches on the cheeks, forehead, and around the chin.
The first step in baby eczema: Apply a good moisturizer (fragrance-free, baby-appropriate cream/ointment) regularly 2-3 times daily. Baths should be lukewarm, no longer than 5-10 minutes, then apply moisturizer immediately afterward. Choose cotton clothing, and avoid overly warm or sweaty environments.
If redness is severe, your baby is uncomfortable and losing sleep, or moisturizer alone doesn't help, consult your pediatrician—they may prescribe a low-dose cortisone cream if needed. Facial eczema typically tends to decrease between 6-12 months on its own.
