Eczema is a common skin condition, and most eczema patients are infants. Due to the delicate skin and weak disease resistance of babies, they often experience skin abnormalities such as red buttocks and eczema. After children suffer from eczema, they will experience itching symptoms. So, what should I do if my baby's eczema is very itchy?
If a baby has eczema and it is very itchy, parents can give their child some topical medication to relieve the itching symptoms. It is also advisable to apply skincare products to children in daily life to maintain skin moisture, which can also alleviate itching. If a child experiences severe itching and their skin is scratched, oral medication should be considered.
Babies with eczema dislike dry environments, so the temperature at home should not be too high and a humidifier should be used to prevent their skin from becoming dry. If it's winter, you can put a damp towel on the heater, which can also increase the indoor humidity.
After a baby develops eczema, it is best to give them a bath every day, but do not use shower gel. Because shower gel contains chemical components, it can irritate the baby's skin, worsen itching symptoms, and even cause skin redness and swelling. And when bathing the baby, the water temperature should not be too high. If the baby's eczema doesn't improve, they should go to the hospital and seek treatment from a doctor.
