What to do if baby has scalp eczema and crusts

Scalp eczema in babies is a very common condition, and we often see many babies with this condition around us. This makes many parents very worried. In fact, many people who do not understand or have not yet started a family do not know much about scalp eczema in babies. Some people may even think, like me, that it is because the parents do not take good care of the baby and make the baby dirty. Scalp eczema scabs can cause great discomfort to babies, so what can be done to deal with this situation?

1. If a baby has eczema on his head, you should shave his hair and then apply calamine lotion externally for treatment. If there is also eczema on the body, you can use honeysuckle boiled water to wipe the face or take a bath. For scalp eczema that has already formed scabs, be careful not to peel it off, let it fall off on its own. If it does not fall off if it gets stuck on the hair, you can wet it with some tea seed oil and it will fall off quickly. In addition, if the baby has dry, flaky and itchy skin, you can also apply some tea seed oil. Many families in the south have it and it has no side effects.

2. In addition, for older babies who have added complementary foods, they can also use medicated diet therapy to prevent and treat eczema. For example, they can drink barley porridge. Cook it as usual. Add a little starch after the rice is cooked. Then add sugar and osmanthus to adjust the taste and eat it. It has the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, strengthening the spleen and harmonizing the middle. You can also let your baby drink some lighter chrysanthemum tea, which can be brewed with boiling water and drunk. It can clear away heat, disperse wind and detoxify.

3. Prevention and care of baby eczema is very important, so parents should make sure their babies wear pure cotton clothes, especially soft underwear, and avoid irritating substances from contacting the skin. In addition, children with eczema should not use too hot water to wash the affected area, otherwise it will cause itchy skin and worsen the eczema.

The above are the methods to deal with scabs on baby’s scalp eczema. We hope our introduction can be helpful to everyone. We all know that scalp eczema scabs are a very common thing, and we also understand that there are many reasons for this condition, but the main reasons are diet and daily care. Therefore, parents of babies should treat their babies carefully in these aspects and hope that their babies grow up healthily.
