Newborn skin is thin

The neonatal impetigo skin barrier, because the neonatal skin is thin and tender, the secretory function has not been fully developed, and the "resident flora" of the epidermal parasites has not yet fully formed. Therefore, the local immune function is low and it is easy to be infected. After infection, it is easy to spread to the whole body through home vaccination, or to spread to each other and cause epidemics in the newborn room.
