What should I do if my baby has eczema? What medicine is better for my baby's eczema?

Eczema is not only difficult to cure, but also prone to recurrence, which troubles many mothers and babies, especially infants and young children whose skin is relatively delicate. Many medicines cannot be used casually for fear of affecting the child's skin problems. So what should you do if your baby has eczema?

For milder eczema, such as a little redness and peeling of the skin, and a few small papules, you don't need to take medicine, just pay attention to daily care, use some moisturizing silicone cream, etc. For slightly more serious eczema, some pure Chinese medicine preparations can also be used.

For more serious cases, such as large areas of erythema, desquamation, and exudation, parents do not need to worry too much when using hormone ointments. The hormones used for children are generally medium- to weak-acting or weak-acting, and they are safe for short-term, local, and intermittent use under the guidance of a doctor.

Most children can get through eczema relatively smoothly. However, some children have recurrent eczema with severe symptoms, and there is no sign of improvement after they are over one year old. This may be an early sign of atopic dermatitis. Parents should take their children to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

Special attention should be paid to the fact that the skin of babies with eczema is very sensitive, so you should be extra careful when taking care of these babies. Do not let the children be too dry, too hot, or too exposed to the sun, as these may irritate and aggravate the eczema. If you still have any questions, please consult a doctor.

Don't dress your baby too much. If you dress your baby too much, the heat in the body will increase and eczema will be aggravated. Pay attention to indoor air circulation and feed your baby more warm water. Babies with eczema should avoid sun exposure. Breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to a light diet and avoid eating spicy foods such as hair, fish, shrimp, and eggs. As the baby grows older and his resistance increases, eczema will gradually improve. Pay special attention when adding complementary foods to your baby.
