Eight-month-old baby has eczema on his face

Eczema tends to recur, and babies with eczema will feel itchy and uncomfortable. It is often seen in skin folds, such as the elbows and armpits. It is common for babies aged 2-3 months to develop eczema. Because eczema is an allergic disease, it is most common in infants who are allergic to milk. The proportion of babies who drink milk powder suffering from eczema is higher than that of babies who are breastfed. Generally, if the eczema is not serious, no special treatment is required. Pay attention to the baby's skin cleanliness. Do not use soap, bath gel, etc. to wash the baby's face or bathe the baby. Just use clean water to wash it.

Question 1

Infant eczema is a common skin disease in infancy. It is an allergic disease, and the exact cause is sometimes difficult to find. Baby eczema is usually called "milk rash". Milk eczema lesions often occur on the face, starting from the cheeks, gradually invading the forehead, between the eyebrows, and scalp, and recurring. In severe cases, the disease may spread to the neck, shoulder blades, or even the entire body.

The lesions have various shapes, are mostly symmetrical in distribution, and can be mild or severe at times. On the face, there are initially clustered or scattered erythema and papules; on the scalp or eyebrows, there are often greasy scales and shiny yellow crusts. 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, or washed 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.

Children feel severe paroxysmal itching, especially when it is warm, so they often rub their heads and faces on the pillow or the mother's clothes, or scratch them with their hands, becoming irritable, crying and restless, which often affects their health and sleep. It usually occurs 1-3 months after birth and usually improves and heals within 1-2 years of age. A few may develop into eczema in children.
