I'm dealing with this issue after having my baby, and it's been 45 days since she was born. Is there a way to treat this? It's becoming really itchy, and I've noticed patches developing on my daughter's skin as well. I'm worried if it's something that can spread. What steps should I take to handle this?

I'm a bit worried because I've been using Minoz OD 100 for quite a while to deal with my acne breakouts. It seems to help, but now I'm considering stopping it. Is it okay to do that, or should I be cautious about anything?
