Why is the child's face not smooth?

The roughness on a child's face is actually a manifestation of eczema. Usually, infant eczema is also called "milk rash", and it will initially appear as small dot-like papules and blisters, or broken blisters with fluid exudation. Therefore, after understanding the cause, you should focus on treatment.

1. It is a common skin disease in infancy and is an allergic disease. The exact cause is sometimes difficult to find. Infant eczema is usually called "milk ringworm". If drugs used to treat "ringworm" are used to treat infant eczema, the condition will worsen. Infant eczema is first seen in infants aged 2-3 months, mostly occurring on the cheeks, forehead, between the eyebrows and head. In severe cases, it may also occur on the trunk and limbs. In the early stage, it is erythema, and later it develops into small dot-like papules and blisters, which are very itchy. The blisters are broken, exudate flows out, and scabs are formed after drying. The lesions are often distributed symmetrically. Eczema is sometimes a dry type, with a small amount of grayish-white bran-like scaling on the small papules. It can also be seborrheic type, with light yellow oily liquid oozing out of small maculopapules and later forming scabs. It is more common on the top of the head, between the eyebrows, beside the nose, and behind the ears, but the itching is not too obvious.

2. The following treatment measures should be taken for infant eczema:

1. The general treatment principle is: find out the cause, treat the symptoms, feed reasonably, and provide careful care.

Generally speaking, we should first observe whether there is food allergy, especially allergy to animal protein such as milk, breast milk or egg white; secondly, the mother can eat fish, shrimp, crab, chicken, etc., which can also be passed to the baby through breast milk. After eating these animal foods, we should observe whether the baby's skin disease worsens. If it is related to the above situation, the baby should change the feeding method; such as breast milk allergy, use milk instead, milk allergy instead, or the mother should not eat fish, shrimp, crab and other foods during breastfeeding. At the same time, the baby's indigestion, constipation and diarrhea should be treated in time.

Commonly used internal medications include diphenhydramine syrup, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, etc. Antibiotics should be added when secondary infection occurs.

3. The topical medication should be determined according to the condition of skin lesions. When there is water exudation, erosion, redness or swelling, use 2% boric acid aqueous solution or 0.1 reflavonoid aqueous solution for wet compress. After the exudation and erosion disappear, use topical corticosteroid preparations, such as eczema cream, dehumidifying oil, skin relaxing cream, etc.
