White pimples on baby's neck

I don’t know if some mothers have found that their babies often have some white bumps on their necks. In fact, these white bumps are caused by eczema. Some people say that eczema only causes red bumps, but this is not the case. The causes of eczema are different depending on the skin of the person, and white bumps will also appear. So what should I do if white bumps appear on the baby’s neck? Let me introduce to you below.

This situation is mostly eczema. Children with eczema initially have red skin and rashes, followed by rough skin and flaking. Touching the child's skin feels like touching sandpaper. Heat and humidity can make eczema more obvious. Infantile eczema is a common skin disease in infancy. It may occur in infants aged 1 to 3 months, is more severe at 4-5 months, gradually improves after 1 year old, and most can heal on their own after 2 years old, but a few may extend to infancy or childhood. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is required. If the symptoms are severe, eczema cream can be applied to relieve the symptoms. However, ointments containing hormone ingredients should not be used for a long time. Wait until the eczema gets better. Apply zinc oxide ointment to your baby every day. There are many types of medicines that can be used for eczema, and they should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Before changing to a new medication, be sure to remove the previous medication. When changing medication, it is best to apply it to a small area of eczema first, observe the effect, and decide whether to use it. Avoid aggravating the condition due to improper use of medications.

Daily health care is as follows:

1. Keep the skin clean and avoid irritation such as scratching, sun exposure, wind, etc. To prevent scratching the skin, children's nails should be cut regularly, hands should be washed or gloves should be worn.

2. If you are breastfeeding, the mother should pay attention to diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, seafood such as fish and shrimp, and citrus fruits.

3. Children's clothes should be loose and preferably made of soft and breathable cotton fabrics. Do not use wool, chemical fiber products, or dark-colored fabrics to prevent allergies.

4. Do not take a bath with alkaline soap or overheated water.
