What should we pay attention to when treating dermatitis in children?

I believe that many parents will encounter dermatitis in their children in their lives. At this time, parents will feel very headache, because children can neither take medicine nor get injections, but if they do not take medicine or get injections, the skin may not be treated. So at this time, some medicine must be used, but in the process of using the medicine, some things must be paid attention to so that children can use the medicine safely.

Allergic dermatitis in children is a skin allergic reaction caused by contact with allergic antigens, which is mainly a type I allergic reaction mediated by IgE. Anyone who is genetically or physically susceptible to specific antigens may develop immediate or delayed allergic dermatitis when exposed to such antigens. This mainly refers to skin diseases such as redness, itching, wheals, and peeling of the skin caused by the human body's contact with certain allergens.

Hormone drugs can quickly relieve itching and redness

Commonly used hormone drugs include dexamethasone acetate, hydrocortisone, prednisone acetate (formerly known as prednisone) and triamcinolone acetonide. These ingredients can effectively inhibit the occurrence of local allergic reactions.

Many parents are afraid to give their children the medicine when they see the "hormone" ingredient. In fact, as long as the medicine is used properly, the hormone ingredient is the safest and most effective medicine for treating allergic dermatitis, and can quickly relieve the symptoms of itching and redness and swelling. However, the following issues should also be noted during use:

* Improper use may cause skin scarring

The biggest safety issue with topical hormones is that they can lead to hormone dependence if used incorrectly.

*Children under 5 years old need to be guided by a doctor before taking medication

For very young infants and young children, the use of hormone-containing products should be carried out under the guidance of a physician. For children over 5 years old, parents can buy some topical products containing hormones (such as compound dexamethasone acetate cream, trade name: Piyanping) at the pharmacy.

Through the above introduction, you now know what medicine should be used to treat pediatric dermatitis, and the editor has briefly talked about the precautions when using the medicine, so you must pay attention to these things when using the medicine, otherwise it is very likely to affect the child's body, which you definitely don't want to see. After paying attention, your child will get better soon.
