What to do if your child has ringworm on his hands

Children are in the growth stage. Because of their poor congenital constitution or their incomplete immune system, they are prone to some diseases. Ringworm on the hands is a very common disease. The most common cause is fungal infection. In addition to being related to the baby's poor immunity, it is also related to the parents' inadequate care in daily life. So what should we do if children have ringworm on their hands? Let's take a look at this aspect.

What to do if your child has ringworm on his hands

1. It is recommended that parents take their children to sunbathe more often

Eat small meals frequently and don't overheat. If the child's physical condition is relatively poor, he or she should pay more attention to rest. Light, warm and easy-to-digest food is the main choice for such children. In life, children’s hands should not be allowed to touch other objects or be touched by others, otherwise infection may occur. In addition, during the illness, you should give your baby more boiled water, pay attention to observe the baby's physical condition in all aspects, pay attention to personal hygiene in life, change and wash the child's underwear frequently, avoid local wind and sun exposure, strengthen daily life care, and perform local cleaning when necessary.

2. After the child has ringworm, he should pay attention to keeping the skin clean and dry

When bathing your baby, use warm water instead of alkaline shower gel to clean the child's body. During illness, you can relieve the condition by wiping with medicine, but pay attention to cleaning the wrinkles of the skin. The most important thing is to avoid external stimulation. Parents should pay attention to the changes in temperature and humidity around the baby, because the reason why children grow ringworm is related to the environment. Therefore, avoid exposing the skin to cold wind and strong sunlight. In summer, as long as the temperature is not too high, you can take your child out for some fresh air, but not for too long. The above matters are all ways to help children treat ringworm.

There are many things to pay attention to when a child develops ringworm. For example, the place where the child often sleeps should be disinfected with the sun, and the pillowcase should be kept clean. If the ringworm is obvious, follow the doctor's instructions and use corticosteroid ointment suitable for the child's condition. Of course, you can also take medication, but you must take it under the doctor's orders.
