Why does my child's skin itch all the time?

Children are young and have delicate skin, which is easily affected by the outside world. For example, if the weather is too dry or the wind is strong, it can easily cause dry skin in children. Over time, it can easily cause allergic reactions and cause symptoms of itchy and painful skin. At this time, parents should warn their children not to scratch with their hands to avoid skin breaks and even secondary infections. In addition, if the child has an allergic constitution or because of diet, it can easily cause itchy and allergic skin, such as eczema, allergic dermatitis, etc.

1. The baby absorbs too much car exhaust.

The main pollutants emitted by automobile exhaust are hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and solid particulate matter. These exhaust gases cause great irritation to the baby's respiratory tract. These factors may directly induce allergies in the baby.

2. Caused by poor household hygiene.

Carpets, Simmons mattresses, sofas, etc. used in the home contain a large amount of fiber, which not only easily breeds mites, but also can directly irritate the baby's respiratory tract. Mites can cause great harm to babies. Not only will they affect their growth and development, but they will also affect their physical and mental health. Therefore, mothers must pay attention to the environment at home. Baby bedding and household items should be changed and washed frequently, and taken out to dry in the sun frequently when the sun is good.

3. Caused by furry pets.

A survey by Japanese medical researchers showed that if babies under one year old live in a family with animals such as cats and rabbits, the baby's chance of developing allergic dermatitis will increase significantly. Because animal excrement and dander can easily cause skin allergies in babies.

4. Moisture and mildew can cause allergies.

Mold is also one of the main causes of baby skin allergies. Mold generally grows in humid environments such as basements and bathrooms. It is recommended that mothers keep their babies away from these places as much as possible, and that filters in the bathroom be replaced regularly and air filters be used.

The cause of baby's itchy skin has been found, so let's talk about how to treat it. First of all, we need to destroy the environment that is prone to cause skin itching. Baby's skin itching is extremely uncomfortable, so mothers can apply a thin layer of pine pollen on the baby after wiping the baby's body. The flavonoids in pine pollen have anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects.
