There are many methods that can be taken when a baby's skin or body develops some symptoms. Many elderly people adopt some old methods, some of which have scientific basis and are very effective, while others are based on the experience of one or two people and cannot be universally applied. Can babies be wiped with vegetable oil?
Can the baby use vegetable oil to wipe? Sometimes it can, sometimes it can't. It depends on the situation and the symptoms to determine whether to use it or not. Now explain the situation separately.
1. In seasons with less precipitation, if a baby's skin becomes dry and peeling, they can apply some vegetable oil. Due to the high oiliness of vegetable oil, it is best not to use it on areas where the skin can come into contact, such as clothing and bedding. Clothes stained with oil are not easy to clean and do not easily harbor bacteria.
2. If the baby's skin is broken or has already developed inflammation, vegetable oil should not be used in this situation. Only anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can be used to be effective. Improper use of vegetable oil cannot solve the problem and can also cause worsening inflammation and suppuration of wounds.
3. After the baby develops eczema and the area is relatively small, you can apply vegetable oil to see the effect. At this point, the bacteria are still relatively rare and may be effective. But with the large area of eczema, applying vegetable oil is no longer effective. A specialized ointment should be used, and the baby should be regularly washed with warm water to see if it works.
