What should I do if my baby has red bumps on his head?

Babies a few months old have more sensitive skin and are more curious. They may be allergic to pacifiers, skin changes caused by the material of clothes, touching many unsterilized objects, and plant odors in the air, which can cause allergic symptoms. If red bumps appear on the baby's head, you should analyze the specific problem and not blindly use any medicine. The key is to prescribe the right medicine for the right condition. So what should a mother do when her baby develops a pimple on his head?

Eczema, also known as milk rash, is a symptom of protein allergy. It is a very stubborn skin disease. Always good and cool. Mom doesn't have to worry. There is no need to use any special medicine for treatment. No matter how good the medicine is, even if it gets better quickly, it will come back after a few days. It is impossible to cure eczema immediately. Remember that the more effective a drug is, the greater the adverse reactions. The mother doesn't need to deal with it specially, she will be able to get out of the current situation after a while.

Eczema is an allergic disease, which means that the child is intolerant or allergic to a certain ingredient in his or her diet or clothing. The most common cause is intolerance to milk protein in infants, especially those who use cow's milk or formula as their main feeding method. Eczema usually appears two weeks to one month after a child is born, and the condition gradually worsens as the child grows older. The condition of most children will improve after adding complementary foods.

From a superficial perspective, no matter how severe the child’s eczema is, we should try to reduce irritation to the child’s skin as much as possible. The frequency of bathing should be controlled appropriately, and do not use chemical agents such as shower gel and shampoo that are irritating to the skin. If the eczema area shows obvious redness and swelling, or even cracks and bleeding, you should use an ointment containing hormones until the redness and swelling disappear. If the cause of eczema is not eliminated, eczema will recur. Every time the condition worsens, use a hormone-containing ointment to treat eczema. The purpose of treatment is to prevent and treat local skin infections to prevent permanent damage such as scarring in the local skin in the future. Don't wrap your baby too much because he will be too hot.

Breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to whether their babies are allergic to foods such as milk, eggs, fish and shrimp. Mothers should avoid eating such foods that are prone to allergies. Eat more soy products, such as soy milk and other heat-clearing foods. Do not eat irritating foods, such as garlic, onions, peppers, etc., to prevent irritants from entering the breast milk and aggravating the baby's eczema.

To prevent red bumps on your baby’s head, you must take good hygiene measures, change towels and wash basins frequently, etc. Skin medicines should always be available at home. Of course, skin medicines should not be applied too much, because many skin medicines contain hormones, which are not good for the baby’s growth. If the red bumps persist for too long, you should seek medical attention promptly and take appropriate medication according to the doctor's instructions.
