Red spot on baby eyelid
Baby Red Around Eyes: Causes and Treatments
If your sweet baby has redness around their eyes but they haven’t been crying, you’re probably wondering what’s causing it — and how much you should worry.
Let’s look at what could be going on.
Rubbing
Skin around the eyes is probably the most delicate skin of the body. (Yes, this is the first place we’ll notice fine wrinkles later in life for that very reason.) If your child has been rubbing their eyes, the area will easily turn red.
Rubbing — in and of itself — isn’t really cause for concern, unless what’s making your baby rub is more serious. (Do keep in mind that fingers + eyes = recipe for infections.)
But if it’s just a sleepy behavior your newborn’s picked up, you can try hand covers to prevent it, or wait for it to resolve on its own.
Irritants
Irritants are substances that injure the eyes, skin, or airways in some way. You can divide irritants into indoor and outdoor. Indoor irritants include:
- cigarette smoke
- perfumes
- sunscreen
- soaps
Outdoor irritants include:
- smoke
- fumes
- chemical vapors
- chlorine in pool water
- smog
Irritants usually cause localized redness that resolves once your baby is removed from the area where the irritant exists, or the irritant is removed from your home.
Allergies
Allergies happen when our eyes (or another part of our body) react to an allergen. An allergen is usually a harmless substance that triggers an immune response in people who are sensitive to the allergen.
Common allergens include:
- dust mites
- mold
- perfume in cosmetics and lotions
- medications
- foods
- dander from pets
- pollen from trees, plants, grasses, and weeds
- insect venom
If your child has a sensitivity and encounters an allergen, their eyes may produce histamine to fight the allergen. As a result, their eyelids and conjunctiva (the tissue that covers the white part of your eye and the inside of the eyelids) becomes red, swollen, and itchy.
You’ll probably also notice that your child’s eyes are watery with excess tears. A vicious cycle can set in: They rub their eyes to relieve the itching and burning, but the rubbing action irritates their eyes further and the redness increases.
While some of these allergens (like dust mites and pet dander) are around all year long, others are seasonal. If your child is allergic to pollen, you’ll notice their red eyes when pollen counts are high.
Children with eye allergies often have nasal allergies as well. Yes, it’s double the trouble. If you suspect that the redness around your child’s eyes is an allergic reaction, check if they’re sneezing excessively or have a stuffy nose.
Sometimes, if an allergic reaction happens often enough, your child’s mast cells can become oversensitive.
Think of mast cells as your body’s first line of defense against invaders. When mast cells in the eye become oversensitive, they release histamine even if the allergen doesn’t come into direct contact with the eye.
Eye allergies are also called allergic conjunctivitis.
Infections
An eye infection happens when viruses or bacteria enter the eye area. It’s important to know the difference, because bacterial conjunctivitis needs antibiotic treatment.
Viral conjunctivitis
This is also called pink eye, although pink eye can be viral or bacterial. Children with colds commonly develop viral eye infections. Symptoms include:
- red, puffy eyelids
- red in the white part of the eye
- watery eyes
Bacterial conjunctivitis
This is more serious than viral conjunctivitis. You’ll notice the same symptoms as those that you notice in a viral eye infection. Symptoms also include:
- a sticky, yellow discharge from the eye
- eyelashes and eyelids that may get stuck together from the discharge
Newborn conjunctivitis
Redness in the eye area of a newborn can be caused by a blocked tear duct, irritation, or infection. Newborn conjunctivitis can be serious, so talk with your pediatrician right away.
Stye
A stye (also called a hordeolum) is a painful, red bump on the eyelid. A stye happens when a hair follicle, oil gland, or sweat gland becomes infected.
Symptoms include:
- painful, red bump on the eyelid
- redness on the eyelid
- tenderness and swelling around the eye
Periorbital cellulitis
If the area around your child’s eye is injured or if your child has a sinus infection, they may develop periorbital cellulitis. This is a bacterial infection of the eyelids and skin around them. You’ll notice that your child’s eyelids are very red and swollen.
This is a serious condition and needs immediate treatment.
If your child has redness around their eyes, you can start treatment at home. However, if your child is a newborn or you suspect cellulitis, get immediate medical treatment.
Irritants
If you can, pin down which irritant is affecting your child. Try a different brand of soap, shampoo, and laundry detergent.
Allergies
Eye allergies usually come with a wider range of symptoms that also affect the nasal and airway passages. Keep a journal to track what could be causing the allergic reaction.
Here are some areas to examine:
- What’s on your baby’s daily menu?
- Is the allergic reaction related to the season?
- Does it happen at day care? Or every time you visit a specific family member or friend?
- Is the allergy related to animals?
- Do food allergies, like those to milk, wheat, or eggs, run in your family?
Eye infections
Viral conjunctivitis
Take care of viral conjunctivitis by rinsing the eyes often with warm water. Use a clean cotton ball for each eye. Wash your hands before and after each cleaning.
If you’re nursing, you can try dripping some of your milk into the corner of the eye. Human milk contains many healing properties.
Antibiotics won’t help a viral eye infection. Expect the redness to last between 4 and 7 days.
Bacterial conjunctivitis
A sticky, yellow discharge indicates a bacterial infection. You can use warm water and your milk to keep the area clean and to provide some relief, but you’ll need to talk with a doctor about antibiotic eye drops or eye cream to fight the infection.
Newborn conjunctivitis
Newborns with redness in or around the eye need immediate medical attention.
If the redness is from a blocked tear duct, you can gently massage the opening of the duct and below the lower eyelid to help it open up.
Sometimes, the antimicrobial eye drops that your baby is given right after birth can irritate the eyes. This mild redness should clear up within 24 to 36 hours.
Infection can happen when viruses or bacteria in the birth canal pass from the mother to the baby.
Stye
Use a warm compress three to four times a day to ease discomfort and reduce redness. If you’re nursing, use a few drops of your milk, too.
Take your baby to a pediatrician if you don’t see any improvement despite the home treatments. Take your journal with you so that the doctor can help track any possible causes.
Remember to tell your pediatrician about any milk, egg, or gluten allergies that run in your family.
If your newborn has a bacterial infection, depending on the severity, your pediatrician will prescribe:
- topical treatment, such as eye drops or ointment (most often)
- oral antibiotics (less commonly)
- intravenous antibiotics (very rarely)
If your baby’s tear duct is blocked, your pediatrician can show you how to massage the duct area to help it open.
Tear ducts usually open by themselves. However, if the duct doesn’t open by the time your child reaches age 1, they may need simple surgery.
If your toddler has bacterial conjunctivitis, your pediatrician will prescribe antibiotics.
Any time your little one has something going on, you may worry. But while redness around the eyes may bother you and your baby, it’s usually a simple thing to deal with.
Just be sure to call the doctor if there’s discharge, or if the issue hasn’t gotten better after a few days.

About 2.5 weeks ago, the skin on one birthmark began to peel off, thin films of different sizes (from 1 to 3 mm) peeled off, the ophthalmologist, when she looked, said that it looked like an allergy and it was necessary to give anti-allergic drops for 5 days (I give Zirtek), if after that peeling will not pass, then go to a dermatologist. I smeared this place with Bepanthen, it did not help. The drops don't seem to help either. What could it be? There is no dermatologist in our polyclinic, they are sent to a skin dispensary, and I myself am afraid to go there, not like a two-month-old baby ...

Although sometimes nothing really bad happens. In the first month of life, neonatologists observe babies. It is on them that a flurry of parental fears falls. “There is such a thing as a transient state of newborns. This is an intermediate period between the time when the child was in the mother's womb and the time when he begins to settle down outside, says Lina Komisar . - When a woman who has given birth asks: “How is the baby?”, We answer: “He is in the period of adaptation.” A transient state is not a diagnosis, not a disease! This condition is also called borderline, since with defects in care or a breakdown in adaptation, it can turn into a pathological one. “Sometimes mothers tell doctors: “My baby has lost weight. Probably because he didn't eat." But this happens not only for this reason. In the first three days, the child receives only a small amount of colostrum and, due to a lack of total fluid volume, loses weight. nine0003 In addition, at this time, the umbilical residue dries up and the original feces are excreted, due to which the baby also loses grams.

The child feels well, eats, sleeps, gurgles, poops, does not spit up. Well, it happens that she cries a little and poops with foam. But that's not always the case. Dysbacteriosis (also causes a rash)? We drink Linex. What is it? Previous …

I smeared with bepanthen, but it only removes peeling and the redness remains ... I think maybe it’s my atopic dermatitis on my lip that decided to appear, usually it’s on my elbows, rarely on my eyelid and on the back of my head in the hole near my neck, but it itches, yes and now there is silence, there are no spots anywhere, only a lip.

The meaning of moles on the body.
So soft, so even, but not perfect. You feel dry patches, flaky patches, rough and wrinkled spots, and in some areas the skin does not seem to fit, for example, it does not fit around the chin, on the neck, wrists and heels. But don't worry, your child will grow up to her. Let's run our hands and eyes, from head to toe, over all the different skin changes seen in most newborns. Normal marks on the skin of a newborn When you look at your baby's skin, it doesn't seem perfect either.

The fairy tale stork has nothing to do with it. These are bundles of overgrown blood vessels that show through the thin skin. When the superfluous blood vessels disappear, and the skin of the child becomes thicker, the spots will fade or completely disappear. Some vascular spots, especially on the back of the head, remain, but they are hidden by hair. Sometimes they disappear, but become visible when the child cries or strains. Reddish birthmarks…
It is impossible to remove them surgically, for this you should use laser therapy or infrared radiation. In most cases, the appearance of the birthmark improves after the first treatment, but not…

The maximum loss occurs before the third or fourth day. If a child was born weighing 3 kg, then he can lose up to 300 g. Such a loss is not a contraindication for discharge from the hospital. Everything will be restored.
From the fourth day, a gradual increase begins. The mother receives more milk, the child becomes more active, sleeps less and adds 10–50 g daily.”

Jaundice
“I can say right away that if a child develops jaundice, this is not a consequence of hepatitis B vaccination, as some parents believe.
There is a special kind of jaundice that occurs only in newborns.
Pathological jaundice occurs with Rh conflicts, liver dysfunction, infections and other abnormalities. It is very rare.
Physiological jaundice begins due to the difference between the hemoglobin of the fetus and the child who has already been born. In a newborn, fetal hemoglobin breaks down, transforming, among other things, into bilirubin. But due to the fact that the baby's liver is immature (this organ is formed before the age of five), it does not have time to utilize this bilirubin. Here the child turns yellow. If certain indicators are not exceeded, this condition does not require special treatment.
Bilirubin will be excreted naturally. nine0003
One child may turn yellow on the second day, the other on the fifth. Jaundice disappears from the beginning of the second to the end of the third week, sometimes it can last up to a month.
Hyperthermia
“It happens that the baby turns red, screams, and the mother cannot calm him down. This is due to the immature nervous system and thermoregulation center. Roughly speaking, babies accept the temperature of the environment: they dressed warmly - overheated, opened - cooled down.
If the child's temperature is above 37.5°, you need to untie and bathe him, remove the diaper and just keep him in a thin diaper. And everything will pass. Antipyretics are prescribed only in very rare cases. nine0003

Sexual crisis
“On the third or fourth day in girls, the external genital organs increase, in boys the scrotum swells. In children, the mammary glands may increase, there will be discharge from them. Girls can also have false periods, which is especially frightening for mothers. This is not scary, because every child receives a lot of hormones during pregnancy and childbirth. Everything will go by itself."
Physiological dysbacteriosis
“Mother calls me to the ward with the words: “My child has diarrhea, what should I do? This is probably because of the antibiotics that they inject me!” No, it's not because of the antibiotics. This is a transition chair.
The baby is born with a sterile intestine. During the first day of life, after being applied to the mother's breast, it is populated by the maternal microflora. The sterile intestine reacts to lacto- and bifidobacteria. It's not a disease."
Skin problems
“Most often mothers ask why the baby is so red. So, red is the physiological color of the skin in the first three days. The protective lubricant was removed from the baby, and his skin is thin, and the capillaries are close. In fact, it is very good that the baby is red, and not some other color. nine0003
It happens that a child develops white pimples on his nose, chin and cheeks. Some mothers are very worried when they are discharged: “God, I have a photo session, what should I do?! Why is he so ugly!” Don't worry, you have a beautiful baby! He just has thin skin and no subcutaneous fat layer. In the area of the face, he has clogged immature sebaceous glands. Nothing needs to be done about it.
Some babies have red spots on the forehead, eyelids and back of the head. People say that redness in front is the kiss of an angel, and behind it is the bite of a stork, that is, the bird took the baby by the neck and carried it to the parents. They also say that these are birthmarks, but this is not so. These are pathologically dilated capillaries. Up to a year they will pass, but they will appear in the heat, with screaming and crying. All of these are not diagnoses either. ” nine0003

Toxic erythema
“If the baby is covered with pimples, most likely it is toxic erythema, a transitional skin condition. It can be caused by toxicosis in the mother, disorders of the endocrine system, the mother taking certain drugs, heredity.
The rash resolves on its own. It has a migratory character: it disappeared on the arm, appeared on the leg. You just need to keep the baby dry and not overheat it.” nine0003
Urinary crisis
“It happens that on the first day the baby does not pee. This is fine. He can urinate at the end of the first day or on the second day. In the first three days, he will go to the toilet a little, but then the diapers will be wet four to six times a day.
And if you see something red in a diaper, don't be afraid that it's blood. This is a consequence of uric acid diathesis. The kidneys began to work actively, so salts of uric acid are released.
