Baby's skin is very delicate, and at the same time, baby's skin is more susceptible to bacterial invasion and infection due to its delicacy. Some babies may experience redness and swelling on their faces after being exposed to sunlight for a short period of time, while others may develop varying degrees of psoriasis and dermatitis on their faces. So what about dermatitis on the baby's face?
Firstly, it is not recommended to treat dermatitis on a baby's face with medication. Because drugs all contain certain stimulating effects, if accidentally stimulating the baby's skin, it can cause greater pain to the baby. Parents should wipe their baby's face with clean water, gently wiping the affected area. Do not use soap or facial cleanser to wash the baby's face, as stimulating dermatitis with alkaline substances can lead to more serious consequences.
Secondly, after wiping the baby's face, you can apply some moisturizer to the baby, but avoid the dermatitis area. Use baby specific non irritating moisturizer, which can keep the baby's face moisturized and prevent the spread of dermatitis bacteria.
Finally, it is important to maintain good hand hygiene for babies. Generally, dermatitis occurs when the skin ruptures and bacteria enter from the site of the rupture. Babies aged one to three are in a playful state and it is difficult for them to keep their hands clean. Therefore, parents should pay attention to helping their babies absorb and prevent scratching from causing more serious consequences.
