What are the precautions for babies with eczema? Pay attention to these 3 points

When babies have eczema, they can choose safe ointments such as cod liver oil ointment, vitamin E ointment and zinc oxide cream, and avoid choosing hormone-containing drugs to prevent dependence on hormone drugs. During the medication treatment, mothers should also avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and pay attention to the living environment and clothing of their children to prevent the condition from getting worse.

Baby eczema is a common skin disease in infants and young children, which is mostly caused by humid air, bacterial infection and temperature factors. The main treatment option for young children after they become ill is topical ointment treatment. However, there are many kinds of infant eczema ointments on the domestic market, and many parents don’t know how to choose. So which kind of baby eczema ointment is better?
1. Which kind of baby eczema ointment is better? <br/>For the treatment of baby eczema, it is generally not recommended to choose drugs containing hormone ingredients, because the skin of infants and young children is too delicate. If hormone-containing drugs are used, it will not only cause drug dependence, but also cause great damage to the stratum corneum of the skin, easily reduce the thickness of the stratum corneum, and lead to allergies in the later stage. Currently, commonly used eczema ointments include cod liver oil ointment, zinc oxide cream, vitamin E ointment, etc. The ingredients of these three types of topical ointments are relatively safe, and there are no side effects and dependence. They are very suitable for young children with eczema.
2. Precautions for the treatment of baby eczema
1. Precautions for medication <br/>When choosing topical ointment for treatment of a baby suffering from eczema, if the mother is breastfeeding, she also needs to cooperate with the treatment and make appropriate adjustments in her daily diet to avoid eating spicy and greasy foods, such as seafood, chili peppers, ginger and other ingredients, to prevent the child's eczema from worsening through breast milk.
2. Pay attention to the surrounding environment . Eczema easily breeds in humid and hot environments. Therefore, during the treatment of eczema, the air in the children’s living area should be ventilated and clean in time to prevent the growth of bacteria and aggravation of the condition. At the same time, the skin area with eczema needs to be kept dry. If the child feels uncomfortable, wipe it appropriately with saline solution. After wiping, you can also apply baby moisturizing skin care products to relieve skin discomfort.
3. Pay attention to your clothing . Eczema is prone to occur on the face, chest, back, skin and other parts of the body. Therefore, after the child becomes ill, parents need to pay attention to the child’s clothing and try to choose pure cotton clothes, and avoid choosing nylon or chemical fiber clothes. Clothes made of nylon and chemical fiber are too rough, which will increase friction on the skin and irritate the child’s delicate skin, thus aggravating the eczema.
