Eczema is the most common skin disease on babies, which not only causes redness, swelling, and unbearable itching, but also affects their appearance. It usually occurs in babies aged 1-3 months, and the causes of eczema in babies are quite complex. Below we will introduce the reasons for eczema on babies.
Reasons for eczema on babies
1. Environmental factors: There are many reasons why babies can develop eczema. Baby's skin is relatively tender, and sometimes even a small problem can make them allergic. Therefore, when a baby's skin comes into contact with some artificial fibers or animal hair, it can cause allergies, and even a little pollen can make the baby allergic and develop eczema.
2. Psychological factors: Many mothers are worried that their babies may develop eczema, so they have strict management of their babies in daily life. They also dare not achieve a balanced diet for their babies. In this case, the baby is likely to suffer from malnutrition, which can lead to endocrine disorders and trigger eczema.
What should I do if my baby has eczema
1. Apply moisturizer or lotion. You can apply moisturizer in winter and moisturizer in summer.
2. Remember not to overheat the shower water. The most suitable temperature is around 36-39 degrees Celsius. If the water temperature is too hot, it may irritate the baby's skin, damage the baby's skin barrier, and may trigger eczema. After taking a shower, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
3. Clothing. Baby's close fitting clothing must be made of 100% cotton. Any clothing with poor quality or dye that is not up to standard may irritate the baby's skin and trigger eczema.
