What causes eczema on baby's face?

The baby's physical health is the most worrying issue for parents, but we know that the baby's skin is very delicate and sensitive, and problems are particularly not easy to detect. Among them, eczema on the baby's face is the most common phenomenon. Sometimes it is always very itchy, and sometimes it is always scratched with the hands and the ears will cry. Let's understand what is going on when the baby has eczema on the face.

What causes eczema on baby's face?

Infant eczema is a common acute or subacute eczema that occurs on the head and face of infants. It is caused by digestive dysfunction, ingestion or inhalation of certain allergens, or adverse external stimuli. It often occurs one month after the baby is born, and manifests as erythema, papules, papulovesicles, erosions, exudates, crusts, and may even be secondary to bacterial infection, accompanied by local lymph node enlargement. Most children recover by around two years of age. What should you do if your baby has eczema on his face? Because eczema is more common in infancy, parents should provide more care when their babies have eczema, because care can effectively reduce the pain caused by eczema to the baby and can also effectively prevent the occurrence of infection.

Find out the cause of baby's eczema, treat it symptomatically, feed it properly and provide careful care. Pay close attention to the child's digestive status and whether he or she is allergic to foods such as milk, eggs, fish, and shrimp. Breastfeeding mothers should avoid eating such foods that are likely to cause allergies.

Dietary treatment for babies with eczema:

1. Luffa soup: Take 30 grams of fresh luffa, cut it into small pieces, put it into a pot with water and cook it, then add salt and let the baby drink the soup and eat the luffa together. It is effective for the exudative type (with watery symptoms) of milk eczema.

2. Mung bean and lily soup: 30 grams each of mung beans and lilies. Cook the soup as usual. After the beans are cooked, drink both the residue and the soup. Relieve the pain and itching symptoms of milk ringworm.

3. Loach soup: Wash 30 grams of fresh loach and put it into water to cook. Add a little salt to the soup and drink it. It is suitable for people with severe symptoms of milk eczema.
