There are many reasons for recurrent eczema

1. Congenital physical factors

Some babies are allergic and are easily allergic to wool fabrics, dust or food (such as milk, fish, eggs) they come into contact with, which can cause eczema attacks.

2. Acquired nutritional imbalance

Some babies suffer from recurrent eczema due to malnutrition, overnutrition, indigestion, and improper clothing.

3. External stimulation

Indoor air pollution, damp heat, and external stimulation are all factors that lead to recurring attacks of eczema.

Keep your baby's skin clean and be careful not to scratch it to prevent infection

My baby is 5 years old now. Before he was 2 years old, eczema was particularly prone to recurrence. My nursing experience is that babies should not be overheated and should not wear too many clothes. At the same time, you should also pay attention to your baby's diet and not feed your baby food that is difficult to digest. If the baby has indigestion, eczema is likely to recur.

Wipe your baby's face with warm water frequently and don't dress your baby too much.

For babies who are prone to eczema, dressing is key. If the baby wears too many clothes, he will sweat frequently and eczema will easily recur. As long as the baby's hands are warm, it's fine. It is especially important to remind you that for breast-feeding babies, mothers must avoid certain foods, such as seafood and crabs!

If your baby has water discharge, you can't apply ointment, you need to apply wet compress

I remember when my baby was 8 months old, his eczema was at its worst. Eczema broke out all over his body, and it was worst at night. The whole back was red and oozing with water, and the baby couldn't sleep well all night. At that time, even hormonal drugs were basically unusable. When the baby has discharge, you cannot apply ointment. You need wet compress. Another way is to apply Bactroban and then apply ointment after it dries. Now that the baby is older, the eczema is much better.

Xiao Hai Ma: Improve your immunity

My secret to dealing with baby eczema is to pay attention to improving the baby's body immunity. In addition to diet, I give my baby bovine colostrum and formula milk containing probiotics; in daily life, I also often take my baby to exercise, such as swimming, practicing roller skating, etc. Once the baby's body got better, the frequency of eczema attacks also decreased.

The above article mainly introduces the causes and solutions of recurrent eczema in babies. I hope parents can pay more attention when taking care of their children in the future, so that the chance of recurring eczema will be relatively small. Once you find that your child has eczema, be sure to receive treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from becoming serious.
