What is the best treatment for dermatitis in children?

It is very worrying for parents when their children suffer from dermatitis. Because of the itching, children often cry and sometimes scratch their skin. However, although this situation is very worrying, we should not rush to seek medical treatment. Children are young, and some methods that adults can use are not suitable for children. So what is the best treatment for childhood dermatitis? Let me share it with you below.

First of all, the purpose of Western medicine prescriptions for the treatment of atopic dermatitis is not to cure it completely, but to eliminate superficial symptoms. So on the surface the treatment seems to be very effective, but once the medication is stopped, the skin symptoms will become more severe and the immune system will also decline. Therefore, children with dermatitis should be cautious when using Western medicine prescription drugs for dermatitis, such as steroid ointments.

So what is the best and most fundamental way to treat dermatitis? In fact, the most fundamental method is not to rely on the effects of drugs to relieve symptoms, but to let children improve their own immunity to overcome the disease, which is the core of treating dermatitis.

Dermatitis is caused by dry skin. If the skin becomes dry, the epithelial cells will be lifted up to expose the dermis underneath the skin, and at this time, a sensitive reaction will occur when it comes into contact with irritants. So keep your children away from irritants, including dust, mites, wind, irritating clothes, etc.

Another method is moisturizing. Moisturizing your child can reduce dermatitis symptoms by 30%. Moisturizer works best when applied when your child is in a good mood. After bathing, be sure to apply moisturizer all over your child's body and massage at the same time. During this process, the mother and child naturally have physical contact, which can calm the child's emotions that have become sensitive due to pruritus.

In short, if the baby suffers from dermatitis, the parents are actually the ones who suffer the most. Mom and dad must be patient and not get annoyed because of the child's crying. They must have enough patience to escort the child through this period smoothly. Now do mom and dad know what to do?
