What should I do if my newborn baby has blisters on his hands?

Some mothers find that blisters sometimes appear on their newborns’ hands in the summer and autumn. In fact, this is because the humidity is too heavy and the newborn's resistance is relatively poor, so it is easy to be infected by bacteria. This symptom is called dyshidrotic eczema. It will not cause much harm to the baby's body, but this eczema will itch and the baby may not be able to stand scratching, so it must be treated in time. So, how to treat dyshidrotic eczema?

Prevention and treatment measures

Dyshidrosis usually heals naturally within a few weeks after onset. Only a few patients will have recurring attacks throughout the year, or even suffer from complications such as chronic eczema or bacterial or fungal infections. However, due to its disturbing nature of severe itching, the key to treatment is to reduce the patient's pain and reduce the occurrence of complications.

1. Avoid scratching: Scratching is often the main cause of disease progression and complications, so it is very important to reduce scratching as much as possible.

2. Hand and foot care: Try to avoid contact with water and detergents on your hands, keep your feet ventilated and cool, and apply more cream. This will not only reduce itching, but also avoid complications of chronic eczema or fungal infections.

3. Topical steroid ointment: In the case of severe itching, it is very difficult to reduce the itching sensation by simple maintenance. At this time, topical steroid ointment is needed to reduce the itching sensation and control the condition.

4. Stress control: Stress control is very helpful in alleviating the condition and reducing recurrence.

5. Low-metal diet: According to statistics, this method is highly effective for patients with combined metal allergies.

Blisters on the hands of newborns are not actually a very serious disease, and parents don’t need to worry too much. Just boil some dehumidifying Chinese medicine for your baby, keep your baby's palms clean, avoid contact with water and detergents, and apply some steroid ointment to your baby when your baby can't stand the itch, but never let your baby scratch the blisters.
