Eczema is a very common disease in daily life, especially in infants. It requires reasonable care and treatment from parents. If not handled properly, it may worsen the symptoms of the disease. Is mild infantile eczema treated? This is something many parents want to know.
Even mild eczema requires proper care and treatment, otherwise mild eczema can transform into severe eczema. The nursing points for mild eczema are as follows:
1. Do not wrap too tightly. Eczema is largely caused by overheating in infants. When a baby sleeps, wrapping it too tightly and not being able to naturally dissipate heat can worsen the condition. If you don't know how thick a blanket is suitable, you can start with a thicker blanket. As long as the baby frequently itches, it means that the blanket is still a bit thick and can be replaced in a timely manner. As long as the baby can sleep soundly, it means that the blanket is more suitable.
2. Wear loose cotton clothing. It is best to choose cotton clothes for babies, whether they are close fitting or not. This texture is sweat absorbing and breathable, which can help babies dissipate heat well. If you cannot determine whether the baby feels cold or hot, you can judge by the body temperature at the back of the baby's head. As long as the body temperature at the back of the head is warm, then the amount of clothing is appropriate.
3. Do not scratch the affected area. The affected area of eczema may have small bumps and itching, and infants may involuntarily scratch. If scratched by a baby, it may lead to infection and worsen the condition. To avoid this situation, gloves can be worn for the baby. Parents use cold and wet compresses on the affected area to alleviate itching symptoms.
