If your child’s skin is itchy and he keeps scratching, parents can do this!

Babies are very naughty during this period. They are interested in all kinds of new things and like to crawl on the ground, etc. However, because the baby's skin is very tender, problems will arise if you don't pay attention. The most common one is skin itching. But because the baby does not have mature thinking, he does not know how to handle it by himself and always scratches with his hands, resulting in scratching his skin. So, what should parents do when faced with such a situation?

Children are more likely to have dry skin in winter. As a parent, if you find that your child has dry and itchy skin, you must pay attention and deal with it in time to avoid dermatitis, allergies and other conditions.

The specific processing steps are as follows:

Keep children's nails short.

When children have dry and itchy skin, they like to scratch it. There are bacteria in the nails and when the skin is scratched, it is easy to get infected, so the first step is to cut the child's nails short.

Replacement of bathing and cleaning supplies

If you still use soap to bathe your child in winter, the reason for his dry and itchy skin lies with the parents. You should choose some bath products with higher oil content, or you can also choose some functional shower gels specially for winter.

Apply moisturizer.

After using oily cleaning products, if you feel your child's skin is still dry, apply some moisturizer to your child's entire body. But don't choose a moisturizer that is too oily, as this will make your child feel uncomfortable.

Drink more water, use less air conditioning, and use a humidifier.

Dry skin is the main reason why children like to scratch in winter, so you should give your child more water and drink more hot water so that the child's body will not lack water.

The air conditioner blows out hot air, which can easily evaporate moisture from the skin and cause dry skin. So use the air conditioner less and put a humidifier in your child's room.

Steps: fish oil, vitamin A, D, etc.

Children's lack of vitamins such as vitamin A and D may also cause dry and itchy skin. You can choose to let your children eat more lamb, beef and other foods that contain more relevant vitamins, or you can give your children cod liver oil for indirect supplementation.
