1. Cold wet compress <br/>After the baby develops eczema, parents can first apply wet compress to the affected skin under the guidance of a doctor. It is generally recommended to use a potassium permanganate solution with the correct proportion for wet compress, which can not only clean the wound surface, but also has the effect of oxidation, sterilization and astringency. In addition, it is best to use 4 to 6 layers of gauze when applying wet compress. If the area of ​​eczema is relatively large, the concentration of the drug, the size of the wet compress area and the nature should be adjusted.
After completing the wet compress, basic skin care is also required, such as applying topical moisturizers to prevent moisture evaporation and repair damaged skin.
