During the growth period of children, various tissues and organs in the body are in a very fragile state, and their skin, like adults, is exposed to air, dust, and ultraviolet rays. Therefore, many babies may experience different skin symptoms when they come into contact with unfamiliar environments, strangers, or consume allergenic foods. So, what should 2-year-old female babies do if they have red spots on their faces and do not itch?
What should a 2-year-old female treasure do if there are red spots on her face that don't itch
1. Keep the skin clean and dry. When bathing a baby, it is advisable to use warm water and non alkaline bath products to clean the baby's body. Babies with eczema should pay special attention to cleaning the folds of their skin. When taking a shower, the shower gel must be washed clean. After washing, dry the baby's body and apply non oily moisturizer to avoid obstructing the normal breathing of the skin.
2. Avoid external stimuli. Especially, it is important to avoid exposing the skin to cold winds or strong sunlight. In summer, after a baby sweats during exercise, they should be carefully wiped dry. When the weather is cold and dry, it is recommended to apply non oily moisturizer that prevents allergies to the baby. Besides paying attention to weather changes, parents should not let their babies wear clothes that are easily irritating to the skin.
3. Shorten nails. If suffering from atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis with severe itching, parents should regularly trim their baby's nails to reduce the chance of scratching.
4. Stop talking. Except for atopic dermatitis, no other eczema requires oral hygiene. Encouraging babies to consume less animal protein, such as milk and eggs, must be done under the supervision of a doctor or nutritionist. It is best not to fast off certain types of food without clear evidence.
Reasons for eczema in babies
1. Genetics. Infant eczema is a manifestation of atopic dermatitis in infancy, which is related to a genetic predisposition to allergies. If parents have allergic diseases such as asthma, urticaria, allergic rhinitis, etc., the child may have immunological abnormalities. The IgE content in the plasma of children with eczema is several to tens of times higher than that of normal infants, which is determined by genetic factors.
2. Protein. A high protein diet may become an external pathogenic factor that triggers infantile eczema. 92.7% of mothers with eczema have paid great attention to nutrition during pregnancy, mainly consuming high protein foods such as chicken, duck, fish, and shrimp, while some prefer spicy and stimulating foods.
3. Indoor temperature and humidity have a certain impact on the onset of infantile eczema. Many mothers, in order to prevent their babies from catching a cold, cause indoor humidity or overheating. Some excessively humid or dry conditions can worsen eczema.
4. Some children are allergic to daily necessities such as soap, laundry detergent, synthetic fiber clothes, plasticine, plastic toys, etc.
5. Climate change (sunlight, ultraviolet radiation, heat, dryness, cold, etc.), ecological damage, and air pollution can also induce or exacerbate infantile eczema.
6. The child inhales dust mites, pollen, etc., comes into contact with various animal and plant debris, feathers, etc., and consumes food such as fish, shrimp, eggs, etc.
Due to the complex and diverse causes of eczema in infants and young children, when discovering eczema on their faces at different age groups, hormone drugs should not be used casually, and any irritating soap, laundry detergent, etc. should not be contaminated. At the same time, infants and young children's rooms must not be excessively humid, and even in summer, dry clothes must be kept to avoid the occurrence of eczema in infants and young children.
