Why does my child’s back itch?

Children's skin is very sensitive and easily reacts to stimuli. In particular, some problems that affect skin health will cause trouble to children's lives. For example, many children have symptoms of itching on their backs. If children keep scratching with their hands, it is easy to scratch and cause wounds, which may induce the risk of infection. Let's take a look at what causes itching on children's backs? I hope everyone can understand it.

Some children have itchy backs, but their parents do not remind them in time, or the children themselves do not understand and will scratch hard on their own. Here we remind children and their parents not to scratch hard when children have itchy backs, so as to prevent nail bacteria from coming into contact with body fluids through the scratched skin.

Children are more likely to have dry skin in winter. As a parent, if you find that your child has dry and itchy skin, you must pay attention and deal with it in time to avoid dermatitis, allergies and other conditions.

The specific processing steps are as follows:

1. Cut children's nails short.

When children have dry and itchy skin, they like to scratch it. There are bacteria in the nails and when the skin is scratched, it is easy to get infected, so the first step is to cut the child's nails short.

2. Replace bathing and cleaning products

If you still use soap to bathe your child in winter, the reason for his dry and itchy skin lies with the parents. You should choose some bath products with higher oil content, or you can also choose some functional shower gels specially for winter.

3. Apply moisturizer.

After using oily cleaning products, if you feel your child's skin is still dry, apply some moisturizer to your child's entire body. But don't choose a moisturizer that is too oily, as this will make your child feel uncomfortable.

4. Drink more water, use less air conditioning, and use a humidifier.

Dry skin is the main reason why children like to scratch in winter, so it is necessary to give children more water and let them drink more hot water so that their bodies are not dehydrated and their skin will not be dehydrated. The air conditioner blows out hot air, which is particularly easy to evaporate the moisture in the skin and cause dry skin. So use the air conditioner less and put a humidifier in your child's room.
