There is another type of "diaper psoriasis" among infant patients, that is, dark red patches with clear boundaries and silvery white flaky scales on the surface appear in the diaper area. The lesions can develop beyond the diaper to the upper thigh. This type may have a family history of psoriasis. The urea in the urine decomposes into ammonia substances, which irritate the skin and produce a similar phenomenon. Children with this type of psoriasis should use soft diapers and keep them dry, and apply 5% boric acid ointment mixed with a small amount of corticosteroid ointment topically. They can also use Chinese herbal medicines such as Scutellaria baicalensis, Sanguisorba officinalis, and Sophora flavescens for external washing, which can reduce dandruff and alleviate symptoms, and may even lead to clinical cure.

Diverse combinations

The combination of vegetables and meat dishes, the combination of dark and light colored vegetables, and the combination of vegetables and fungi are very suitable for pediatric patients. For example, the combination of mung bean sprouts, shredded carrots, shredded black fungus, and shredded enoki mushrooms in the five-shredded vegetable stew is nutritious, colorful, and delicious.

Vegetable and bean cooking

Cooking vegetables with fresh beans or bean products not only makes them delicious and colorful, but also improves their nutritional value. If you add onions when frying edamame, the effectiveness of vitamin B1 in the edamame can be increased by more than 10 times because onions contain allicin. It can supplement the vitamin deficiency in children with psoriasis.

Avoid mixing

Many green vegetables, such as shepherd's purse, spinach, amaranth, and celery contain oxalic acid, which will affect the absorption of minerals and reduce their edible value. Therefore, understanding the taboos and preferences of various vegetables and rationally matching them with dishes can improve the absorption rate of nutrients. For example, spinach, minced meat and tofu soup or shepherd's purse, shredded meat and tofu soup, although delicious, their nutritional combination is very unreasonable. The oxalic acid in spinach and shepherd's purse will form precipitates with the iron and calcium in tofu, which is not conducive to human absorption. It is important to avoid malnutrition in children with psoriasis!

Meat and vegetable combination

Children with the disease should not eat spicy or irritating foods, but they can eat vegetables, eggs, milk, and pork. There are many varieties of vegetables, which can be divided into leafy vegetables, rhizomes, cauliflowers, melons and tomatoes, etc. In addition to 70% to 90% water and a small amount of protein and fat, they mainly contain a certain amount of sugar and rich vitamins and inorganic salts, which is one of the main elements indispensable to maintain life.

Now everyone should know how to treat psoriasis in children. In fact, the most important thing is to pay attention to the child’s daily diet. It is recommended to eat more foods containing vitamins and carotene, such as carrots, tomatoes, and protein-rich chicken.
