Can pediatric eczema be cured? Do you know the 4 common misunderstandings about pediatric eczema?

Parents regard their children as their treasures after they are born. When their children have health problems, they will be worried about them. However, due to environmental and other factors, many children have chronic diseases, such as eczema. Many parents will take measures blindly after their children develop eczema. It is important to know that some eczema misconceptions will affect treatment and should be understood first.

What are the misunderstandings about children’s eczema?

1. Eczema can be cured

Many mothers think that eczema is a curable disease, but it is not. At present, there is no drug that can cure eczema. It can only prevent recurrence. Generally speaking, 50% of children with eczema will gradually recover as they grow older, but they will have recurrences when their immunity is low. Therefore, parents can reduce the incidence rate by improving their children's resistance and taking good care of them. Don't blindly take various measures thinking that it can be cured.

2. Hormones have side effects and should not be used

At present, due to various popular science on the Internet, many people believe that hormones are harmful and should be kept away from them, especially children. But in fact, using hormones under appropriate circumstances can make the treatment effect better. It is just that hormones should be used according to the doctor's instructions during use. Correct use will not cause harm.

3. Keep eczema dry

When it comes to eczema, most people think it is caused by moisture, so you have to keep your skin dry to avoid the disease. But on the contrary, eczema is not caused by excessive use, but by excessive dryness. The skin needs to be moisturized to prevent the skin barrier from being damaged, causing repeated attacks of eczema. Therefore, for children with mild eczema, you can choose a low-sensitivity skin cream to moisturize and protect the skin. If it is severe eczema, you need to take medicine to control the disease.

4. Avoid certain foods if you have eczema

Since eczema is an allergic disease, many parents believe that it is necessary to avoid certain foods. But in fact, as long as it is not a serious systemic eczema, there is no need to avoid certain foods. On the contrary, it will affect the growth of children. It is just necessary to avoid some serious allergenic foods, or if it is found that you are allergic to certain foods after examination, you can try to stay away from them in order to prevent skin allergies from aggravating eczema.

Warm reminder, parents who want to take measures after their children have eczema should first understand the above misunderstandings to avoid believing and stepping into them, which will aggravate the disease. In addition, it should be noted that most recurrent eczema attacks are due to decreased resistance, so improving resistance is one of the measures to prevent recurrence of the disease. Insisting on letting children participate in outdoor activities and receive sunlight is not only good for growth, but also can reduce the incidence of eczema. In normal times, you should also cooperate with the diet to achieve a balanced nutrition and not be picky about food.
