What should I do if my baby has sandy dermatitis? Parents should keep these methods in mind

If a child develops sand-related dermatitis, parents should first keep the child away from the sand and stop irritating the skin. Then evaluate the severity of the dermatitis. If the symptoms are mild, they may heal on their own. If the symptoms are severe, it is best to see a doctor.

1. To prevent and treat sand dermatitis, you should first educate your children not to play with sand, water, soap and other skin irritants frequently. If the itching is severe, you can take oral antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine tablets and loratadine syrup, apply calamine lotion externally, use Chinese medicine decoction for external washing, or Chuanbai antipruritic lotion for treatment. If erosion and exudation occur, antibiotic treatment is needed. For those with skin redness, swelling, erosion and severe inflammation, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time. Most children can recover within half a month. Ointments such as Fuqingsong and Piyanping have obvious side effects on children, and it is not advisable to use them to treat sand dermatitis.

2. Wash and boil an appropriate amount of fresh purslane in water. After it cools down, apply it to the affected area with the water, 2-3 times a day. Or use 10 grams of Liuyi Powder and two bottles of Huadu Powder (Liuyi Powder and Huadu Powder are available at Chinese medicine stores), mix well and apply externally, 1 to 2 times a day; and take chlorpheniramine, vitamin C, etc. under the guidance of a doctor. Those with obvious redness, swelling and erosion of dermatitis should take the Chinese patent medicine Qingrejiedu Pills twice a day, half a pill to one pill each time. If the skin is red, swollen, eroded or the inflammation is severe, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

3. Three things to remember about this disease: 1. Avoid contact with water, sand, soap, and laundry detergent, play less with water in the fish tank, and change your sleeves in time if they get wet. 2 The course of the disease is relatively long, sometimes taking 1-3 months to completely subside, but no scars are left after recovery. 3 After taking the medicine, the area will turn red and become connected into patches, but it will become darker and flatter and then disappear.

4. This sand dermatitis, medically known as papular dermatitis infantum, is a common skin disease that preschool children are prone to. It is generally considered that the allergy is caused by children's contact with sand or stimulation from toys, which will gradually spread. There may be reddish skin and papules.

Suggestions: It is recommended to apply Eudragit externally, Lingbao Cream in combination with loratadine syrup, and use this Aoqing cream for topical vitamin C. Will gradually recover. First of all, you should reduce local stimulation as much as possible and avoid playing with sand. Generally, it gets better slowly.
