The weather is getting warmer, and babies' skin is also starting to have various problems. It's either eczema or prickly heat, which can only be applied repeatedly with ointment. Although it's frustrating, it still has an effect. But what if the baby develops chicken skin?
1. It is likely to be keratosis, also known as goosebumps. Generally, it is a symptom caused by insufficient vitamin A in the body, and it is recommended to supplement with foods rich in vitamin A.
2. If itching occurs along with chicken skin, it may be urticaria. If breastfeeding, mothers must not eat spicy foods, seafood, etc. to avoid worsening the situation.
3. It could be eczema, as eczema is sensitive to dryness and prefers dampness. If the baby is in a dry and poorly ventilated environment for a long time, it may be caused by the skin being too dry. Pay attention to moisturizing in mild cases, and in severe cases, it is recommended to wash and apply moisturizer daily.
4. It is also possible that the chicken skin is caused by allergies, and babies can drink plenty of plain water. If breastfeeding, mothers should eat less seafood and other allergenic foods. If this phenomenon persists and does not subside, you can go to a regular hospital to find a doctor to check for allergens.
5. In addition to having chicken skin on the body, it is also necessary to observe whether the baby has a fever. If the baby has a fever, the body will feel cold and trembling, and there will be chicken skin phenomenon. If the baby's chicken skin reaction is caused by high fever, physical cooling should be performed first.
