What should I do if my baby has seasonal eczema?

Babies are the center of a family, and their health is the primary concern of their parents. However, with the change of seasons, babies are prone to seasonal eczema, which worries young parents. Because babies are too young, they will feel very uncomfortable when they develop seasonal eczema, and it is difficult for them to express it, which increases their pain. To help young parents, I would like to give you some tips.

1. Find the cause: The cause of eczema is complex. It is an allergic reaction caused by the interaction of multiple internal and external factors. The cause can be found through skin tests and serum-specific IgE tests.

2. Avoid contact with suspected allergens: If the child is allergic to milk, he should be breastfed, or the milk should be cooked for a while longer to denature the protein in the milk and reduce its antigenicity to reduce the allergic reaction. Other milk substitutes can also be used instead, and dairy products such as cream, cheese, and ice cream should be avoided. For people who are allergic to eggs, the eggs should be cooked for a longer time, or only the egg yolk should be eaten without eating the egg white, because the antigenicity of eggs mainly comes from the egg white, and the egg yolk rarely causes an allergic reaction. People who are allergic to dust mites should avoid using carpets, try to move old newspapers, magazines and other items that easily accumulate dust outdoors, and do not play with toys filled with cotton, feathers, etc. If you are allergic to mold, do not use a humidifier and try to avoid places where mold is easy to grow, such as basements, dark places, piles of leaves, and places with lush vegetation. If you are allergic to animal feathers and dander, do not keep pets at home.

3. Underwear should be loose and made of pure cotton. Try not to wear silk, pure wool or chemical fiber products.

4. Scratching, rubbing, washing with soap, scalding with hot water and inappropriate stimulation by external medications often aggravate eczema and should be avoided. Young babies are unable to take care of themselves, so to prevent them from scratching, their upper limbs can be fixed to the bed with restraints.

The above is the advice that the editor gives to young parents regarding baby seasonal eczema. When babies develop seasonal eczema, parents do not need to worry too much. After finding out the cause of their babies' seasonal eczema, parents should prescribe the right medicine to help relieve their babies' pain. Finally, the editor hopes that all babies can be free from the trouble of seasonal eczema.
