How to treat baby’s red maculopapular rash? These methods work well

Children's skin is prone to problems, such as frequent red maculopapular rashes. Some parents will become very anxious at this time and don't know how to deal with it. In fact, this is not a serious disease. Mastering the following methods may effectively solve the problem.

1. Since atopic dermatitis is a symptom caused by an allergic constitution, the only way to recover is to work hard to improve your physical condition. When the rash is itchy, you can use appropriate medication to relieve it.

2. Doctors usually prescribe steroid ointment for application and oral antihistamines to relieve itching. However, if the rash starts to secrete or even emits an odor, it means there is a bacterial infection and you must see a doctor immediately. The doctor will prescribe oral antibiotics and ointments depending on the situation to prevent the condition from worsening.

3. Stay away from allergens

1. Clean your home frequently, keep the air circulating, and stay away from allergens such as dust mites, cockroaches, mold, and pollen.

2. Try not to come into direct contact with irritants such as perfume, disinfectant, detergent, preservatives, etc.

3. Be careful not to eat foods that may cause allergies, such as eggs, milk, citrus fruits, nuts, shelled seafood, and peanuts.

4. If feeding formula milk, choose hydrolyzed formula and wait until six months old before starting to add complementary foods.

3. Gentle cleansing and enhanced skin moisturizing

1. Take a bath in warm water every day, but be careful not to make the water temperature too high.

2. When cleaning the body or hair, choose neutral or hypoallergenic shower gel or soap. Do not use enzymes or soap to avoid irritating the baby's fragile skin.

3. After taking a shower, pat your body dry with a towel. Do not rub hard to avoid rubbing the towel against your skin.

4. Before all the moisture on your body dries up, apply a more moisturizing lotion to soothe the dry skin.

4. Clothing and Hygiene

1. The material of clothes should be pure cotton with good breathability. Do not wear woolen or nylon clothes and accessories.

2. Do not wrap your baby too tightly when dressing him, as the stuffiness will irritate the skin and cause itching, causing discomfort to the child.

3. In summer, you should wipe your baby’s sweat with clean water frequently to prevent sweat irritation from making the symptoms worse.

4. Baby's nails should be trimmed short to prevent scratching the skin, allowing bacteria to infect the wound and cause "secondary infection".

5. You can help your baby put on cotton gloves to prevent him from scratching himself and making the symptoms worse.
