What to do if your child has an itch?

Many children sometimes experience itching on their bodies. What is going on? No one wants their child to feel itchy, and if it is a disease, the more they scratch, the worse it will get. So today we will ask an authoritative expert to answer for you what to do if your child has itchy body.

Please ask a dermatologist and a pediatrician to diagnose and find the cause. I think it may be pruritus, which has many causes. For example, internal factors may include systemic diseases such as jaundice, diabetes, intestinal parasitic diseases, polycythemia, and drug rash, all of which can cause skin itching. Most of the causes in children are external, such as poor hygiene habits, skin dirt accumulation, excessive bathing, excessive friction, use of soap (alkaline), irritating powders, disinfectants and external ointments, or mechanical stimulation such as wool fibers, plants, insect hair, and humidity in summer and dryness in winter, but it is often difficult to find the cause. The main symptoms are neurological disorders and unstable mental state.

So I think you should pay more attention to caring and caressing, pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, do not use shower gel when taking a bath, do not use low-quality soap, and use less fragrant soap. Pay attention to nutrition and eat more vegetables, fruits, meat and eggs. Another reason may be that the child's skin is dry. You can use some skin care products, such as applying some Johnson's baby oil, Vaseline, etc. after taking a bath every day.

The above is an explanation of what to do if your child itches. I hope that after reading the above article, you will have a comprehensive understanding of children’s itching. We should also pay more attention to children's diet and toiletries, so as to prevent such incidents from happening.
