Most babies are prone to developing eczema before the age of half, and at this point, their eczema can heal on its own without special treatment. However, the likelihood of developing eczema in babies after the age of 3 is relatively low, as their resistance has greatly improved. So, how long can a 3-year-old baby's eczema heal on its own?
When a baby's eczema is relatively mild, it will slowly heal within two weeks. But for some serious situations, it takes a longer time, and some even require medication to alleviate. After eczema, it is necessary for the mother to take correct care and adopt proper care to help the baby recover quickly.
Eczema requires mothers to regularly clean the affected skin of their babies. They can rinse the affected area with water, but cannot use soap or alkaline substances such as shower gel to clean the baby. These things can stimulate the skin of the affected area of the baby, making it prone to infection and exacerbating their eczema, which is not conducive to the recovery of eczema.
It is also important to note that for babies who also suffer from eczema, it is best to provide them with breathable clothing. This will help alleviate eczema and prevent it from becoming more severe due to prolonged exposure to humid environments. It is best to choose loose and bulky clothes that will not rub against the affected area and can prevent infection.
