Misunderstandings in the Treatment of Pediatric Eczema

When children have eczema, we are all very anxious and try all kinds of medical treatments, which often leads to misunderstandings in treatment! So what are the misunderstandings in the treatment of childhood eczema? How many of them have misled you? Let me briefly introduce a few points to you.

When facing babies who are "harassed" by eczema, have parents noticed the following misunderstandings in the treatment process?

1. Eczema does not need to be treated, it will get better naturally when you grow up! Children with eczema will indeed get better with age, and many will disappear on their own. However, further aggravation of eczema will lead to secondary infection, and repeated scratching will affect the child's sleep and easily leave scars. Moreover, as an allergic condition, if it is not treated, it is also easy to be complicated by other allergic diseases.

2. The rash is caused by fetal toxins, just stop feeding it! Although some elderly people believe that eczema will improve after the baby is weaned, unless the baby is really resistant to breast milk, do not wean the baby easily. Breast milk is the most suitable and best food for babies.

3. If you want to cure eczema, stop eating all the foods! Avoiding foods does not play a big role in preventing eczema. On the contrary, it will cause an imbalance in the child's nutritional intake. Unless there is a clear food that causes allergies, you should not deliberately restrict your child's diet.

4. Don't take a bath for eczema, as water won't heal it! For common eczema, taking a bath is not in conflict with it. If you don't take a bath for a long time, the bacteria and sweat stains will irritate the skin and aggravate the condition. However, if the eczema is so severe that it causes skin rupture and ulceration, you need to avoid getting the wound wet.

5. Children with eczema should not be vaccinated! Eczema is not a contraindication to vaccination. If the eczema is not severe, vaccination can be done normally. Vaccination needs to be delayed only during the acute infection period of severe and stubborn eczema.

6. Eczema is caused by moisture, and it can only be cured by drying! Many people think that eczema is caused by too much moisture on the skin. In fact, it is the opposite. Eczema skin is very afraid of dryness, so it must be kept moisturized frequently. Moisturizing is the basis of eczema skin care. Good moisturizing can achieve twice the result with half the effort!

How many of the above misunderstandings about the treatment of pediatric eczema have you been misled by? So how can you prevent your baby from suffering from eczema? If it is mild, parents can control the condition by taking good care of the baby and keeping the skin moisturized. If the condition is serious, you should listen to the doctor and use topical hormone ointment when necessary to avoid delaying treatment.
