How to detect eczema in children

In life, we often see some children with eczema. This is a common skin disease. Many allergens can also cause eczema. So how to detect eczema in children? Let me take you to a comprehensive understanding of the symptoms of eczema.

Infant eczema is a common skin disease in infants. It is an allergic disease. The exact cause is sometimes difficult to find. Infant eczema is usually called "milk ringworm". Milk ringworm lesions often occur on the face, starting from the cheeks, gradually invading the forehead, between the eyebrows, and scalp, and recurring. In severe cases, it can extend to the neck, shoulder blades, and even all over the body.

The lesions are of various shapes, mostly symmetrically distributed, and sometimes mild and sometimes severe. On the face, they are initially clustered or scattered erythema and papules; on the scalp or eyebrows, there are often greasy scales and shiny yellow scabs. In mild cases, there are only light red patches with a small amount of desquamation; in severe cases, there are erythema, blisters, erosions, and infiltrations, which continue to spread and expand. If scratched, rubbed, washed, or scalded excessively, the erosion will worsen and the exudation will increase. Secondary infection often occurs due to skin damage, causing nearby lymph node enlargement, accompanied by fever, loss of appetite, dry stools, red urine and other systemic symptoms.

The child will experience paroxysmal severe itching, especially when it is warm, so that the child will often rub his head and face on the pillow or the mother's clothes, or scratch with his hands, become irritable, cry and feel uneasy, which often affects health and sleep. It often occurs 1-3 months after birth, and usually alleviates and heals at 1-2 years old. A few may develop into eczema.

Once the baby shows symptoms of eczema, the mother will feel helpless, and seeing the baby's cheeks turn red is even more heartbreaking. In addition to seeking medical treatment as soon as possible, there are many eczema creams on the market that specifically treat eczema. Parents should choose carefully because eczema creams are used in different ways for different symptoms. Pay special attention to the following matters:
