Some people only have a better understanding of eczema after having children because their babies have eczema on their skin. Baby eczema can be divided into two types: dry and wet. Some parents believe that their baby has dry eczema and want to first determine what symptoms their baby's dry eczema is, so that they can compare it easily.
Dry eczema can cause dry and cracked skin, with light red fine cracks, severe dehydration of the affected area, and symptoms such as peeling and itching. After scratching the skin due to itching, there may be bleeding and erosion. Most cases occur in the lower legs, back of the hand, thighs, and other positions of the torso. If you find that your baby has these symptoms, you should consider having dry eczema.
When a baby suffers from dry eczema, parents should take the baby to the hospital for professional treatment. Only through medication or other means can dry eczema be completely resolved. During treatment, it is important to prevent the baby's hands from touching or scratching the affected area, otherwise dry eczema will become increasingly severe.
If the affected area of a baby's dry eczema is relatively dry, parents can also apply some moisturizing lotion to the affected area, but choose a moisturizing lotion with natural ingredients. Try not to let the affected area get wet, and do not use shower gel or soap for the baby while taking a bath. Instead, use clean water to take a bath. Remember to lower the temperature of the bath water, as too high a temperature can worsen dry eczema. And it is necessary to wear loose clothes for the baby to prevent friction on the affected area.
