Babies are likely to develop infantile eczema, which is a common allergic inflammation caused by internal or environmental factors. Most cases of illness occur 1-3 months after birth, gradually improving after 6 months, and most children gradually recover on their own after 1-2 years of age. It is recommended to keep it dry and avoid using soap, shower gel, etc. for cleaning. For less severe cases, there is no need to deal with them. For those with multiple rashes, they can use moisturizing skincare products to wipe them. Do not let the baby scratch them on their own to avoid infection.
What to pay attention to for baby eczema
1. Do not use soap or hot water when washing your baby's face; Breastfeeding mothers should not eat high protein foods such as fish and shrimp, which can easily cause allergies. If they have touched fish with their hands, they must wash them clean before touching the baby. After feeding the baby, remember to use a clean handkerchief to help the baby dry their face; If the child is fed formula milk, parents can also try switching to goat milk.
2. If it worsens due to cold and dry weather, consider static dermatitis. In this case, zinc oxide ointment and moisturizing children's skincare products can be used alternately. Children's clothes must be made of cotton, and parents who want to hold their children must also wear cotton jackets to hold them.
Baby is the heart of parents, but no matter how careful they take care of it, some minor illnesses and pains cannot be avoided. However, in life, parents must not be careless when taking care of their children. They need to pay attention to their physical condition at all times in order to detect any abnormalities in the child in a timely manner. If there is any discomfort, do not be overly nervous and anxious, and seek medical attention promptly.
