Many mothers have found that even with careful care, their newborn babies still develop eczema. The red area looks very distressing, so mothers hope to find the cause of eczema, avoid it in the future, and let their babies grow up healthy. So, what causes eczema in newborns?
1. Genetic factors. If parents suffer from allergic dermatitis such as urticaria or asthma, children are more likely to develop immune disorders closely related to genetic allergies. After some infants develop eczema, they may also develop other variant reactive diseases, such as bronchial asthma or allergic rhinitis, which are closely related to genetic allergies.
2. Environmental factors. Many parents, in order to prevent their babies from catching a cold, do not open windows for ventilation, which can cause the room to become too humid and hot, and the baby may develop eczema. Living in excessively humid or dry places can also worsen eczema. In addition, climate change, air pollution, or strong ultraviolet radiation can all cause babies to develop eczema.
3. Washing habits. Parents are concerned about the health and hygiene of their babies, but improper care can also affect their health. For example, excessive cleaning of a baby's skin or the use of skincare products containing a large amount of irritating ingredients can easily damage the baby's skin health. Excessive cleaning may also lead to the loss of moisture in the baby's skin, causing dryness and easily triggering eczema.
