Erythema Toxicum Neonatorum treatment in Acapulco

Erythema toxicum neonatorum is a very common and benign skin rash that appears in the first days of a newborn's life. Despite its name, it is not contagious and has no connection to any toxin, and it usually goes away on its own.

How it looks: It appears as small reddish spots with a tiny yellow or white dot in the center, which may move from one place to another from day to day and do not bother the baby.

Common causes: It is considered a normal reaction of the newborn's skin as it adapts to the environment outside the womb.

Which specialist evaluates it? The pediatrician and the neonatologist are the ones who identify it and distinguish it from other rashes; if you have any doubts about your baby's skin, it is best to mention it to the doctor caring for the baby for greater peace of mind.
