Treatment of baby eczema skin disease

Children's skin is relatively delicate, and once a skin disease occurs, it is particularly easy to be discovered. Eczema is the most common one among babies. It is often caused by low immunity of the baby and drooling. In addition, because babies have no self-control and can't help scratching with their hands when they have eczema, it is particularly easy to cause skin infection and other phenomena, which often makes many parents particularly worried. Let's learn about the treatment methods of baby eczema skin diseases.

Treatment of baby eczema skin disease

1. Diet management

It is best to find and avoid the allergen. Children who are allergic to milk protein should switch to amino acid formula powder or extensively hydrolyzed protein formula powder.

2. Local treatment

Children should take a bath every day to keep their skin clean and moisturized, but the water temperature should not be too high and chemical bath products should be used as little as possible. For exudative and dry eczema, if there is no ulceration on the surface, the child should be given some non-allergic moisturizing cream to play a moisturizing role. For severe eczema, topical corticosteroid cream can be applied short-term, which has obvious anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects. Be careful to avoid long-term and high-dose application to avoid side effects. If the local ulcer is infected, antibiotic ointment needs to be applied locally for anti-inflammatory treatment.

3. Oral antihistamines

Antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine and zolpidem can be taken orally under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Systemic corticosteroids

Whether taken orally or intravenously, corticosteroids can quickly control symptoms, but they are prone to relapse after discontinuation and cannot be cured. Long-term use can cause dependence and various adverse reactions, so they should be used with caution as appropriate. For patients with generalized acute eczema who do not respond well to other treatments, oral prednisone can be taken for a short period of time and the dosage can be gradually reduced after the condition improves.

The above is an introduction to the treatment methods of infant eczema skin diseases. After understanding it, we know that babies cannot use drugs blindly, because many ointments contain a large amount of hormones, which can easily cause more irritation to the baby's skin. In addition, parents must pay special attention when taking care of the baby so that it will be more conducive to the recovery of the baby's skin. At ordinary times, it is necessary to ensure that the indoor air circulation of the baby is guaranteed, do not let the baby wear too many clothes to ensure that the baby's skin is dry.
