Newborn babies have sensitive skin, which often leads to skin problems when exposed to external stimuli. Eczema and dermatitis are very common skin diseases. Many novice parents don't know how to deal with it. So, what should I do if my baby has eczema and peeling on their face?
1. Find allergen
The cause of eczema in babies may be allergies. Mothers who breastfeed can check if their babies have eaten foods that are prone to allergies, leading to eczema. If you have consumed formula milk, you can try switching to another type of formula to see if your baby still has symptoms of eczema. If all the above methods fail, you can go to the hospital for allergen testing.
2. Keep your face clean
If the baby's skin cannot be kept clean, it is easy to breed bacteria and worsen eczema. So in daily life, it is important to clean and keep your baby's skin dry in order to effectively treat eczema.
3. Cutting nails for babies
When a baby's face is covered in eczema and peeling, there is often a feeling of itching, and they will unconsciously scratch it with their hands. This makes the skin easily scratched by the baby's nails, leaving scars. Therefore, the mother should trim the baby's nails in a timely manner.
4. Apply ointment
When a baby suffers from eczema, the mother should take her to the doctor as soon as possible and apply ointment to the baby according to the doctor's prescription, so as to cure the baby's disease faster.
