Does breast milk make irritations on baby's skin? I'm a new mom and my baby has irritants on his face and body.

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
What you're describing is most likely erythema toxicum neonatorum, a benign allergic skin rash that appears soon after birth and may involve the entire body except the palms of the hands and souls of the feet. It has a red base and pus in its center. It's self - limited so no need for any treatment.
