What are the causes and precautions for eczema in four-year-old babies?

Children are the apple of the eye in the family, especially in today's families, which basically have only one child. The only child is even more spoiled and pampered. Therefore, as long as the child shows the slightest discomfort, the parents will be particularly anxious and panicked. Children around four years old are very likely to suffer from eczema. So what causes eczema in children? What should I pay attention to?

Causes of baby eczema:

1. Eczema caused by genetics. It is generally closely related to genetic allergic constitution. If the baby's parents have allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, urticaria, allergic rhinitis, etc., the baby's possibility of suffering from eczema is greatly increased.

2. Eczema caused by environmental problems. Both temperature and humidity can cause eczema in babies, and some daily necessities can also cause allergies in babies, leading to eczema.

3. Eczema caused by food allergies. High-protein food is one of the important factors causing baby eczema. If babies eat too much high-protein food, they are prone to eczema.

4. Drugs cause eczema. If children use improper medication and treat eczema as ringworm, it will aggravate the baby's eczema.

5. Bacterial and viral infections may also cause eczema.

Things to note for babies with eczema:

1. The water temperature for eczema patients to take a bath should not be too high, and the frequency of bathing should be reduced.

2. Patients with eczema should dress and cover themselves with quilts appropriately. Do not cover the baby too much or wear too much.

3. Clean and change the baby’s clothes, quilts and other things that come into contact with the skin regularly to ensure a clean environment.

4. Avoid exposure to the sun as this may aggravate the condition.

Babies around four years old are also very likely to develop eczema. Eczema is a contagious disease that mainly causes skin damage, mainly itching, which has a great impact on the patient's life. Eczema can occur in a wide range of age groups, from the elderly to children. Therefore, it must be well controlled.
