What is the best way to treat pediatric eczema? What medicine can cure pediatric eczema quickly?

Pediatric eczema is an allergic skin disease, which is commonly known as an allergic skin disease. The main cause is intolerance or allergy to ingested, inhaled or contacted substances. Children with eczema will initially have red skin and rashes, followed by rough skin and flaking. Touching the child's skin is like touching sandpaper. Heat and moisture can make eczema more obvious. Pediatric eczema and adult eczema are essentially the same thing. However, the symptoms of pediatric eczema and adult eczema are not exactly the same. Pediatric eczema is a continuation of infantile eczema; or it may not occur in infancy but only in early childhood.

1. Dry type: Eczema manifests as red papules, with redness and swelling of the skin, bran-like desquamation and dry scabs on the papules, and is very itchy.

2. Seborrheic type: Eczema is manifested by skin flushing, and small maculopapules exude a yellowish sebaceous liquid that covers the rash and later forms a thick yellow scab that is not easy to remove. It is more common on the top of the head, between the eyebrows, beside the nose, and behind the ears, but the itching is not very obvious.

3. Exudative type: more common in fatter babies, with blisters and erythema between the red rash, swelling of skin tissue, and itching. Yellow serous fluid oozes out or bleeds after scratching. The rash can spread to the trunk, limbs and the whole body, and is prone to secondary skin infection.

Infant eczema is mostly seen on the face. Mild (dry) cases only have erythema and papules. Severe (wet) cases have blisters, erosion, water seepage, and scabs. Generally, they gradually recover after 3 to 4 years of age. Most people do not have a relapse, but a few will have repeated attacks.

Infant eczema is a continuation of infant eczema; or it may not occur in infancy but only in toddlerhood. Infant eczema lasts longer and the rash is more complicated than infant eczema. In addition to erythema, blisters, erosions, and scabs, there are also papules, nodules, small wheals, and lichenification. The rash is more itchy, and there are more blood scabs and scratches. The prone sites are often not on the face but on the flexor side and wrinkles of the limbs, such as the armpits, elbows, and groin. The rash is mostly dry and is prone to purulent infection after scratching.

1. Genetic factors (25%):

The causes of baby eczema are complex, among which allergic factors are the most important. Therefore, babies with a family history of allergies (such as father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, brothers and sisters and other family members have had eczema, allergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, asthma, food allergies and drug allergies, etc.) are prone to eczema.

2. Protein intolerance (25%):

About 20% of infants will have varying degrees of intolerance to milk protein, which often manifests as varying degrees of eczema. In severe cases, diarrhea or even blood in the stool may occur. Generally, infants are only intolerant to cow's milk protein, but some children are also intolerant to breast milk protein. This intolerance usually begins 1 to 2 months after birth and gradually worsens. It often reaches its peak around 4 months after birth. With the addition of complementary foods, the situation usually begins to improve and generally disappears around 2 years old. However, some children's rashes will become more and more severe, and they will develop food allergies, allergic rhinitis, and even allergic asthma in the future.

3. Predisposing factors (30%):

For babies with eczema, many substances can induce or aggravate the symptoms of eczema, such as protein in food, especially fish, shrimp, eggs and milk, contact with chemicals (skin care products, bath products, cleaning agents, etc.), wool products, chemical fiber products, plants (various plant pollens), animal leather and feathers, infections (viral infections, bacterial infections, etc.), sunlight exposure, high ambient temperature or wearing too warm or cold clothes, etc., can all stimulate the baby's eczema to recur or worsen.

There is a special type of pediatric eczema that often occurs around the child's anus and is often accompanied by pinworm infection, called pinworm eczema.

1. Eliminate the cause

(1) Although the cause of eczema is not easy to determine, we should still inquire about the medical history in detail, conduct necessary systematic examinations, try to find out the possible causes, and eliminate them.

(2) People with allergic constitutions should not only avoid contact with substances that are likely to cause allergies in terms of food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc. (see allergens in the causes of disease for details), but should also strengthen physical exercise to improve their allergic constitution.

2. Avoid irritants. Once eczema occurs, patients should try to avoid irritants, including scratching, washing with boiling water, scrubbing with soap, drinking alcohol and eating spicy food, so as not to aggravate the condition of eczema.

3. Early diagnosis and early treatment Based on the clinical characteristics of severe itching, polymorphic lesions, exudative tendency, flexion of the limbs, and easy recurrence, it is easy to diagnose. Densely distributed red papules and papulovesicles with severe itching should be treated early. Since most early eczema is in the acute or subacute stage, topical drug treatment should follow the principle of corresponding sequence.

4. People with allergic constitution or a family history of allergies should avoid various external stimuli, such as washing with hot water, scratching, sun exposure, etc., and try to avoid allergenic and irritating foods.

5. Live a regular life and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

6. Wear loose clothes to reduce friction and irritation, and avoid direct contact between chemical fiber and wool fabrics and skin.

7. Most patients with eczema, especially chronic ones, have not been cured after years of treatment, and patients often lose confidence. In fact, eczema is not an "incurable disease". The cause of the disease is extremely complex, which makes it difficult to treat. Patients should cooperate with doctors and build confidence in recovery.

1. Try to find the allergen, but it is often difficult.

2. Avoid contact of irritating substances with the skin. Do not wash the affected area with alkaline soap or overly hot water. Do not apply cosmetics or any oils.

3. The room temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will make the eczema itching worse. Wear loose clothes, preferably pure cotton fabrics.

4. For eczema that is not large in area, you can apply Fu Relaxing Ointment, but it should not be applied too thickly. For patients with more eczema, they need to go to a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
