A. It seems that your baby may be having an allergic reaction to the egg yolk. Red patches or pimples after introducing a new food can be a sign of an allergy or sensitivity, especially if it's the first time your baby has had eggs. Here's what you can do: 1. Stop Giving Egg Yolk Temporarily: If you suspect the egg yolk caused the red patches, stop giving it to your baby for a while. It's best to avoid foods that may trigger allergic reactions until you consult with a pediatrician. 2. Keep the Skin Clean and Dry: Gently clean the affected areas with lukewarm water and mild baby soap. Pat the skin dry with a soft towel (avoid rubbing). Avoid using any harsh soaps, lotions, or wipes on the affected skin, as they might irritate the sensitive skin further. 3. Apply a Soothing Cream: You can use a baby-safe, fragrance-free moisturizer or a calming cream like calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream (if recommended by your pediatrician). Apply it to the affected areas to soothe and calm the red patches. 4. Monitor for Other Symptoms: Watch for any additional signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or vomiting. If any of these symptoms occur, contact your pediatrician immediately. 5. Consult Your Pediatrician: Since your baby has a red rash, it’s best to consult your pediatrician for confirmation of an egg allergy and to discuss alternative foods. A pediatrician may recommend allergy testing or suggest a specific course of treatment to reduce the symptoms. In case this reaction is mild, it should resolve after a few days, but it's important to be cautious and prevent further exposure until a healthcare professional evaluates your baby’s condition.
