What should I do if my child has ringworm on his face? Introducing countermeasures for you

If a child has rashes on his face, parents must pay attention to it. It is best to take the child to see a doctor and choose professional treatment methods, because this is related to the child's future image. In addition, parents should do a good job in all aspects of life.

1. Home medication (1) 0.2% diphenhydramine syrup 1-2 mg/kg body weight/day, orally in 3-4 doses. Or take 0.35 mg/kg body weight/day of chlorpheniramine orally in 3-4 doses. (2) For those with erosion and exudation, apply 3% boric acid solution as a wet compress, and then apply zinc oxide oil. When the exudate decreases, apply boron zinc paste 2-3 times a day. (3) For those with dry skin, apply 2-5% black bean distillate oil or coal tar ointment, or apply cortisone or skin-relaxing ointment 2-3 times a day.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine and Folk Prescriptions (1) Mix 30g of Phellodendron chinense powder, 15g of Hanshuishi powder, and 3g of Indigo powder with sesame oil and apply to the affected area. If there is a lot of exudate, make the mixture thicker; if there is less exudate, make it thinner. Apply twice a day. (2) Grind 30 grams of Coptis chinensis and 15 grams of alum into fine powder, add appropriate amount of Vaseline, and mix into an ointment to apply to the affected area.

3. Nutrition and Diet: Diet should be taken at regular times and in regular amounts. It is best to drink breast milk. If you drink milk, drink more water, add less sugar, and boil it for a little longer. As age increases, you can be given multivitamin foods, but you should not eat too much. If constipation occurs, honey can be given or the diet can be changed. If you have indigestion, seek prompt treatment.

Note:

1. Do not wash the skin lesions caused by baby eczema with water. It is strictly forbidden to use soapy water or hot water. You can wipe it clean with vegetable oil and do not use strong irritating drugs.

2. Before going to bed, the baby's hands should be properly restrained to prevent scratching and widespread skin lesions.

3. Clothes should be loose, clean, and preferably made of cotton. Baby diapers should be changed and washed frequently.

4. Hormone ointments may cause side effects if used on the face or over a large area for a long time. Babies' skin is relatively tender, and improper use of medication often worsens the condition. Therefore, the medication should be used under the guidance of a physician.

Prevention tips:

1. Try to reduce allergens in the environment, such as house dust, mites, hair, artificial fibers, fungi, etc.

2. The temperature is suitable. The indoor temperature should not be too high and the clothes should not be too warm to reduce the stimulation of sweat secretion.

3. Pay attention to the nature, preparation and feeding intervals of the diet, do not overfeed, and try to avoid eating foreign protein foods such as milk and eggs.
