What to do if your child has eczematous dermatitis?

Eczematous dermatitis is a common skin disease in children. Small red papules are the initial symptoms, which may also exude, and finally scabs and desquamation may appear. If it recurs and does not heal for a long time, the baby will feel itchy and uncomfortable. Eczema is often distributed on the face or around the auricle, and in the most serious cases it can spread to the whole body. So what should mothers do at this time? Let's take a look.

The causes of eczema are complex and are often the result of the interaction of internal and external factors. Internal factors such as chronic digestive system diseases, mental stress, insomnia, excessive fatigue, mood changes, endocrine disorders, infections, metabolic disorders, etc., and external factors such as living environment, climate change, food, etc. can all affect the occurrence of eczema. External stimuli such as sunlight, cold, dryness, heat, hot water washing, various animal furs, plants, cosmetics, soaps, artificial fibers, etc. can all induce it. It is a delayed allergic reaction caused by complex internal and external factors.

Eczema is a common allergic inflammatory skin disease. It is characterized by diverse rashes, symmetrical distribution, severe itching, recurrent attacks, and easy development into a chronic disease. It can occur at any age, in any part of the body, and in any season, but often recurs or worsens in winter. Eczematous dermatitis is a very serious skin disease that generally occurs most frequently in the summer. In the early or acute stage, the affected area has patches of erythema, dense or scattered small papules, or blisters that are difficult to see with the naked eye. In severe cases, there are large areas of exudate or erosion. Eczematous dermatitis has different classifications. Clinically, it can be usually divided into autosensitive eczema, infant eczema, and infectious eczema according to the different types of eczema. Mothers should let their babies sweat less and bathe them frequently.

Therefore, we must prevent the occurrence of eczematous skin in children at any time and anywhere. Here are several prevention methods: clean children's hands frequently, trim their nails, and keep their skin dry, especially when taking a bath. Be sure to wipe their bodies clean after a bath, and don't let their bodies get wet, as this will increase the chance of eczema.
