What’s going on with the little red spots on my baby’s mouth?

The baby's every move concerns the parents, after all, the child is the future of the family. This means that once the child has any problems, parents need to help the child as soon as possible, just like a cold. Although it is not serious, parents still need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. Well, babies are also prone to skin diseases. If small red spots grow around their mouths, what is going on?

It is baby eczema. Many infants and young children will develop eczema on their faces and necks. When it's hot and the baby starts sweating, he will scratch and cry because of the itch. Parents should be reminded here: First of all, do not scratch randomly to avoid breaking the skin and causing infection.

For treatment, you can use 2%~3% boric acid, rinse it with boiling water, dip a small amount on a relatively clean gauze or sterilized cotton swab, and apply it to the affected area. Chinese medicine can use 20 grams of honeysuckle and 20 grams of dandelion, boil them into water, filter them after cooling, dip a little with a cool, wet towel, and slowly apply them to the affected area. Usually supplement more vitamins C, B1, and B6, and let your baby drink some orange juice appropriately. Try not to use hot water or boiling water to wash the affected area.

In addition, you can also buy some black bean distilled oil ointment at the pharmacy, dip a small amount with a cotton swab and apply it to the affected area once a day. After applying boric acid or Chinese medicine cold compress, you can then apply ointment for better results. If the eczema covers a large area and the affected skin becomes red and festering, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

The following care methods are generally used for babies with eczema:

When washing your child's face and bathing, do not use soap to irritate the child. If the eczema on the body or limbs is severe, do not bathe the child temporarily. Apply medicine immediately after washing.

Dress your child in clean, soft and comfortable clothes, change and wash pillows frequently, and use light-colored pure cotton cloth instead of chemical fiber products.

Do not expose your child to cold or heat, keep him away from cold wind, and avoid exposure to the sun in summer;

Nursing mothers should avoid spicy foods, such as peppers, onions, garlic, wine, etc.

Milk for children should be cooked for a longer time to destroy the allergenic substances in the milk. When a child suffers from severe eczema, he or she should seek treatment from a dermatologist in time. Parents should not apply medication to the child casually to avoid aggravating the allergy. Generally, eczema improves easily after treatment, but it is also easy to relapse. However, there is no need to worry. It will gradually heal after stopping milk drinking (about 6 months).
