What causes rough skin in children?

Skin problems are not only a headache for adults, but also a health killer for children. In recent years, the incidence of skin diseases in children has remained high, which makes parents very worried, fearing that their children will suffer from some strange skin diseases. For example, rough skin in children is a common skin problem, which is seriously destructive to children's skin and requires active treatment. So, what is the reason for rough skin in children?

The child's skin becomes dry and rough, with small bumps all over the body, like chicken skin; the hair is sparse, dry, and dull, and the nails become brittle and changed in shape; the conjunctiva and cornea of ​​the eyes (commonly known as the black pupil) also develop lesions, with mild cases causing dry eyes, photophobia, and night blindness (commonly known as chicken eyes); severe cases causing black pupils to become turbid, ulcers to form, and finally perforation leading to blindness. It may be caused by a lack of vitamin A.

The reasons that cause baby's rough skin are generally the following:

1. Dry and dehydrated skin leads to peeling and roughness.

2. The skin becomes inflamed, leading to peeling and roughness.

3. After skin allergy, if there is no good care, it will lead to peeling and roughness.

4. Use cosmetics that are not suitable for your skin type.

5. Lack of vitamins.

Due to the dry climate and the characteristics of baby's skin, it is easier to lose moisture and seems drier than in summer. Therefore, we should use moisturizing products all year round to lock in moisture and keep the skin moisturized. In terms of diet, babies should be given adequate water every day and eat more vegetables and fruits. Foods that easily cause inflamed intestines, such as longan meat, peanuts, etc., should be eaten less.

From the above explanation, the reason for children's rough skin is mostly caused by climatic and environmental factors. Therefore, parents must add clothes to their babies in time when taking care of their children to prevent the baby from catching a cold and affecting their resistance. They must also wash the children's clothes to kill the fungi and bacteria on them.
