What treatments are available for neonatal skin problems?
Treatment varies depending on the condition. Milia usually resolve on their own without treatment. Erythema toxicum also typically resolves spontaneously. For seborrheic dermatitis, gentle washing with baby shampoo and application of emollient creams may help. Impetigo requires antibiotic treatment, either topical or oral, depending on severity. Diaper dermatitis can be managed by keeping the diaper area clean and dry, using barrier creams, and sometimes antifungal or steroid creams.
