How to treat baby's seborrheic eczema How to use medicine for baby's seborrheic eczema

If your baby suffers from seborrheic eczema, first of all, you need to keep the skin clean and have a reasonable daily diet. Then you need to take medication. Topical medications include glucocorticoids, antibacterial drugs, and selenium sulfide lotions. Oral medications mainly include tripterygium wilfordii polyglycosides and antibiotics.

The baby's skin is delicate and easily stimulated by the outside world, which can lead to eczema. There are many types of eczema, and seborrheic eczema is one of them. Many babies are troubled by this type of eczema, and the main manifestations are papules and scales, which usually appear on the head, face, and trunk of infants and young children. So how to treat baby seborrheic eczema?

1. General treatment of baby seborrheic eczema

1. Keep your skin clean

When a baby has seborrheic eczema, parents must do a good job of cleaning the baby's skin. It is best to use warm water to clean the skin every day, but never use soap or shower gel. If there are a lot of scabs, you can use vegetable oil to soften the scabs, and then wash them with clean water. Be careful to be gentle to avoid scratching the skin.

2. Eat a balanced diet

The onset of seborrheic eczema is related to allergic factors, so when adding complementary foods to babies, you should avoid foods that are prone to allergies, such as eggs. Let your baby develop the habit of eating on time and don't overfeed.

2. Drug treatment of baby seborrheic eczema

1. Topical medications

(1) Glucocorticoids

Topical glucocorticoids are suitable for skin lesions with severe inflammation, and the effect is relatively obvious, but long-term use is not recommended. If the child is very young, it is recommended to use low-efficiency glucocorticoids, which have a weaker effect and cause less damage.

(2) Antimicrobial drugs

If your baby suffers from seborrheic eczema, you can apply 2% erythromycin ointment or gel for treatment, or you can apply 5% metronidazole cream or 1% dexamethasone cream. The treatment effect is very good.

(3) Selenium sulfide lotion

Selenium sulfide lotion has a good antifungal effect. It can also inhibit the growth of antibacterial bacteria, reduce sebum secretion and the fatty acid content in sebum, and has a good effect on improving baby seborrheic eczema.

2. Oral medication

(1) Tripterygium wilfordii glycosides

Tripterygium wilfordii glycosides is a commonly used drug for the treatment of seborrheic eczema. It is suitable for patients with more obvious inflammation and a larger range of inflammation. It can be used in combination with a small dose of glucocorticoids for better results.

(2) Antibiotics

If the inflammation of seborrheic eczema is severe, it may be complicated by bacterial infection. At this time, you should take antibiotics appropriately, such as tetracycline or erythromycin.
