What should I do if I have eczema in my child? What are the causes of eczema in my child?

If the child's eczema is more serious, you can apply tacrolimus ointment externally, take antibiotics orally, and use calamine lotion to clean the affected area; you can also use wild chrysanthemum, mung bean sesame ointment, berberine egg white and other external antipruritic drugs to relieve the condition; be sure to wear cotton clothes to avoid letting the child scratch the affected area to avoid aggravating the condition.

Eczema is a common skin disease in infants and young children. When the disease occurs, small red rashes often appear on the cheeks. As the disease worsens, small red rashes will appear on the forehead, neck, chest and other parts, and even small blisters may appear. When suffering from this disease, there are obvious itching symptoms, so the baby often cries and makes a fuss. So, what should we do with pediatric eczema?
1. Drug treatment of eczema in children
1. Tacrolimus ointment: This ointment is very effective in treating eczema and does not contain hormones. Therefore, when the baby's eczema is more serious, you can apply this medicine externally under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the condition.
2. Antibiotics: If the baby's eczema has obvious exudation, some antibiotics can be used to fight bacteria and inflammation and relieve the condition, but you must pay attention to the dosage and course of treatment and avoid abuse.
3. Calamine lotion: If the child’s eczema is relatively mild, you can also use calamine lotion to clean the affected area, which has a good antipruritic effect.
2. Homemade external antipruritic recipes for pediatric eczema
1. Fumigation and washing with wild chrysanthemum: Boil wild chrysanthemum with water. After the juice becomes warm, you can fumigate the affected area for about 15 minutes, and then apply prickly heat powder on the eczema, twice a day, which can also effectively relieve the itching symptoms caused by eczema.
2. Apply mung bean sesame oil ointment: fry the mung bean powder until golden yellow, let it cool, add appropriate amount of sesame oil and mix evenly, apply to the affected area once a day. It has a good therapeutic effect on eczema that has already shown exudation and edema symptoms.
3. External application of Coptis chinensis and egg white: Grind Coptis chinensis into fine powder, add egg white and mix evenly, apply it on eczema, which can subside the rash and relieve itching.
3. Daily care for pediatric eczema
1. Wear cotton clothes: Because children's skin is relatively delicate, it is best to choose loose cotton clothes for children. Do not wear chemical fiber or wool clothes to avoid aggravating eczema.
2. Avoid scratching: Because eczema can cause itchy skin symptoms, babies may scratch with their hands. However, if scratching causes skin lesions, infection is likely to occur. Therefore, you should help your baby cut his nails at this time. It is best to gently wrap his hands with soft cloth to prevent your baby from scratching the affected area.
