Causes and solutions for baby's forehead peeling

Babies will encounter various challenges after coming out of their mothers' stomachs, especially newborn babies. They are not very adaptable to our external environment, so they will have some minor physical problems to resist the discomfort of the outside world. However, parents will often observe the baby's dynamics. The mother will notice any slight changes, which will cause worry and anxiety. So what is the reason for the baby's forehead peeling and what should we do?

You need to first understand the root cause of eczema. The root cause of eczema is the imperfection of the gastrointestinal system. The allergens ingested by some children with allergic constitutions can easily enter the blood through the thin intestinal wall. Since the subcutaneous capillaries are the most abundant, eczema will immediately appear on the skin. The key to treating eczema is not to test out allergens from countless substances and avoid them, but to improve the baby's gastrointestinal system. Moreover, current medicine does not recommend depriving babies of proper nutrition in order to avoid allergies. Therefore, you can eat some probiotics such as Mami Love or Biostime (probiotics are not medicine and can be eaten frequently) to improve your baby's gastrointestinal system. Once your baby's gastrointestinal system becomes more complete, eczema will improve. My baby also suffered from eczema when he was young. I gave him Mama Love for a whole year, and now his face is very smooth.

It should be emphasized that eczema will recur. It may improve in the early stage of medication, but it will relapse soon. Long-term medication is not recommended, otherwise it will cause the skin to become hormone-dependent.

Parents should not apply any over-the-counter medicine to their babies if they have eczema. In addition to taking your baby to see a doctor and using medication, you should also pay attention to the following general methods of caring for dermatitis.

1. Keep your skin clean and dry

When bathing your baby, it is advisable to use warm water and non-alkaline bath products to clean the baby's body. For babies with intertrigo, special attention should be paid to cleaning the folds of the skin. When taking a bath, the shower gel must be rinsed off. After washing, wipe the moisture off the baby's body and apply a non-oily moisturizer to avoid hindering the normal breathing of the skin. The baby's hair should also be washed every day. If the baby has seborrheic dermatitis, washing the head carefully can remove the scabs. If the scab has hardened and stuck to the head, apply olive oil on the affected area and then wash it after a while.

2. Avoid external stimulation

Parents should always pay attention to changes in temperature and humidity around their baby. Babies with contact dermatitis should especially avoid exposing their skin to cold wind or strong sunlight. In summer, after your baby sweats during exercise, you should wipe off his sweat carefully; when the weather is cold and dry, you should apply anti-allergic non-oily moisturizer to your baby. In addition to paying attention to weather changes, parents should not let their babies wear clothes that are easy to irritate the skin, such as wool, silk, nylon, etc.

3. Shorten your nails

If your baby suffers from severely itchy atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis, parents should regularly trim their baby's nails to reduce the chance of scratching.

4. Avoid certain foods

Except for atopic dermatitis, there is no need to abstain from food for other eczema. Let your baby eat less animal protein, such as milk and eggs, only under the supervision of a doctor or nutritionist. It is best not to ban certain foods without clear evidence. It is not recommended to deprive your baby of proper nutrition in order to avoid allergies.

After reading the above analysis, do you know the cause of the baby's forehead peeling? Generally, babies are not used to the external environment after they are born, so eczema is a common problem for babies. If the baby is the same as usual, there is no need to worry. It should recover according to the above methods. If you are really worried, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. I wish your baby good health!
