Determining the need to apply erythromycin ophthalmic ointment to your newborn’s eczema needs to be evaluated based on the specific condition of the eczema. First, erythromycin ophthalmic ointment can be applied. If the newborn’s eczema oozing is more obvious with redness and swelling, mainly due to the eczema caused by the combination of bacterial infection, you can apply erythromycin ophthalmic ointment for anti-infection treatment. After the newborn eczema, the integrity of the skin is destroyed, so the power of resistance to pathogenic bacteria will be reduced to cause secondary bacterial infection, the application of erythromycin ointment can significantly control the symptoms. Secondly, there is no need to apply erythromycin ophthalmic ointment. If the newborn’s eczema is relatively mild, oozing is not much, the skin redness and swelling is not obvious to consider by simple allergic factors caused by eczema, do not need to apply erythromycin ophthalmic ointment anti-infection.
