What ointment should I use for baby eczema?

Because the severity of eczema is different, the drugs used are different, and the drugs used for eczema in different parts of the body are also different. If the symptoms of eczema are relatively mild, you can choose to apply eczema cream for infants and young children, such as compound triamcinolone acetonide cream, compound triamcinolone acetonide cream, furoate mometasone cream, etc. If the eczema is more serious, the skin is red, swollen, watery or thickened, you can use cortisone ointment, erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, etc. under the guidance of a doctor.

Precautions for using ointment

Because many ointments are hormone ointments, although these ointments can quickly relieve the symptoms of eczema, they also have some side effects. Hormones will make the baby's skin epidermis thinner and thinner, causing repeated attacks of eczema, and hormone drugs also have a certain impact on the child's physical health. Therefore, the application time of hormone drugs should not be too long. Generally, 1 to 2 times a day, 5 to 7 consecutive days are enough, and the same part should not be used continuously for more than two weeks. If two or more ointments are used, the application time of the ointments should be at least half an hour apart to avoid adverse reactions. If the symptoms cannot be relieved after using ointments to treat eczema, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment in time.
