Can vaccinations be administered for milk crust (infantile eczema)?
Disease description:
I've heard that newborn babies are more prone to developing milk crust (infantile eczema). My baby has been born for two days now. I'm wondering if it's possible to give some preventive vaccinations. Is there a vaccine to prevent milk crust?

It is generally not recommended to receive vaccinations while having milk rash. Milk rash, a type of eczema, is usually caused by factors such as clothing friction or food irritation. Receiving vaccines during an active milk rash outbreak may affect the vaccine's effectiveness and could potentially worsen local discomfort or skin lesions, which would be unfavorable for recovery. It is advisable to treat the milk rash first and then proceed with vaccination once the condition has resolved.
