Some babies in daily life repeatedly develop eczema, which is a headache for parents. Any disease has its own cause of onset, and only by finding the cause and staying away from the pathogenic factors can the recurrence of the disease be avoided. Eczema is no exception. So, what are the causes of eczema in babies?
There are many causes of eczema in babies, firstly related to their allergic constitution. Some babies may have allergic rhinitis or asthma, or have a family history of allergies. In addition, food allergies are also one aspect. Common foods that can cause allergies include eggs, milk, seafood, as well as nuts, food additives, and fruit juices.
Babies with eczema may also be caused by inhalation allergies, such as pollen, fungi, dust mites, and animal fur. Also, if the baby is in a bad environment, such as being damp, stuffy, or wearing synthetic clothes, it can cause the baby to repeatedly develop eczema.
When parents notice that their baby has recurrent eczema, the first thing to do is to rule out allergens, starting with food. If the baby is allergic to milk, they can switch to breast milk, goat milk, or formula milk. They can also boil the milk for a while and add some sugar to improve the baby's digestion and absorption.
Parents should provide careful care for babies with eczema, especially when the room temperature is high, which can worsen the itching of eczema. Parents should keep the room temperature at an appropriate level. And the environment where the baby lives should be dry, well ventilated, and kept clean.
