What are the examination methods for pediatric eczema

Now, many mothers are at a loss when they find that their baby has eczema. They don’t know how to treat their baby. They even worry that their baby’s body cannot bear it when they go to the hospital for examination. In fact, when a baby has eczema, he needs to go to the hospital for examination. Let’s learn about it below. What are the examination methods for pediatric eczema?

First of all, infant eczema can be checked physically. Infant eczema usually starts with small red rashes on the cheeks, which soon spread to the forehead, neck, and chest. The small red rashes may turn into small blisters, which will ooze water after breaking, and then form yellow scabs. Acute eczema behind the ears, in the groin, around the anus, and on the chin should be differentiated from intertrigo. The latter often occurs in obese infants, in the summer, or in children with drooling or diarrhea, who do not pay attention to local skin cleaning. Sometimes it needs to be differentiated from contact dermatitis. This disease has a history of contact and the skin damage occurs at the contact site with clear boundaries. Patch testing can be used for differentiation when contact factors are suspected. However, patch testing is often not easy to show in the neonatal period.

Second, heredity is an important factor in childhood eczema. Of course, we cannot say that if mom and dad have eczema, the child will also have eczema, or will definitely have eczema. However, if the parents' relatives, such as grandparents, grandparents, and even aunts, uncles, and aunts, have a history of this allergic disease, then their offspring are prone to eczema. In other words, the baby is in a specific constitution, and under this constitution, it is easy to get allergic diseases including eczema. Allergens testing is required.

In fact, if the baby suffers from eczema, then the mother's top priority is to find out the cause of the baby's illness. If it is diet, then it should be adjusted according to the baby's physical condition. If it is skin care, then the right method and products should be selected. Only in this way can the baby recover faster.
