What causes baby eczema?

Baby eczema can be caused by many reasons, such as genetic factors, protein allergy, environmental factors, psychological factors, bacterial and viral infections, etc. During treatment, the cause should be identified to avoid these adverse factors to avoid repeated attacks of eczema. At the same time, using medication under the guidance of a doctor can achieve better results.

Baby eczema is a very common disease in life, but parents cannot ignore it. Once a baby suffers from eczema, it will cause severe itching of the skin, which will affect the baby's sleep, eating, etc. Therefore, baby eczema must be treated in time. If you want to treat baby eczema, you should first clarify the cause. So what is the reason for baby eczema?
1. Genetic factors <br/>Baby eczema is related to allergic constitution. If parents suffer from diseases such as urticaria, asthma, allergic rhinitis, etc., the baby may also have allergic constitution through inheritance. Due to immunological abnormalities, such babies are prone to allergic diseases such as eczema, allergic rhinitis, asthma, etc. when they come into contact with allergic substances.
2. Protein allergy <br/>A high-protein diet may lead to eczema. Many mothers of babies with eczema pay great attention to nutrition during breastfeeding, and their diet is mainly high-protein foods, such as chicken, duck, fish, etc., or they often eat spicy and irritating foods, which may aggravate the baby's eczema.
3. Environmental factors <br/>In order to prevent babies from catching cold, many mothers keep the doors and windows of their homes tightly closed and rarely open windows for ventilation, which leads to high indoor temperatures and excessive humidity. They also dress their babies in too many clothes, bathe them in hot water, and do not pay attention to hygiene, which can also induce eczema. Some babies are allergic to plasticine, plastic toys, etc., and eczema may occur when they come into contact with these items.
4. Psychological factors <br/>Some parents are afraid of the occurrence and recurrence of eczema, and are overly worried that their babies will have allergic reactions to certain substances. They are prone to restrict their babies' food, resulting in a monotonous diet and malnutrition. In addition, parents usually restrict their babies' activities, which will also affect their babies' immune function, making it difficult for them to adapt to changes in the external environment and more likely to induce eczema.
5. Other factors <br/>Baby eczema can also be caused by bacterial infection, viral infection, and improper use of drugs. Failure to pay attention to care, excessive scratching of the skin, and failure to dry the skin in time after sweating are also common causes of eczema.
