Best treatment and care for newborn baby eczema

After birth, newborns are not yet well adapted to the external environment. Neonatal eczema at this time is inevitable. Neonatal eczema is a very common disease. This phenomenon can cause children to feel very uncomfortable. So what is the best treatment for neonatal eczema?

It is a common skin disease in infancy and is an allergic disease. The exact cause is sometimes difficult to find. Infant eczema is usually called "milk ringworm". If drugs used to treat "ringworm" are used to treat infant eczema, the condition will worsen. Infant eczema is first seen in infants aged 2-3 months, mostly occurring on the cheeks, forehead, between the eyebrows and head. In severe cases, it may also occur on the trunk and limbs.

In the early stage, it is erythema, and later it develops into small dot-like papules and blisters, which are very itchy. The blisters are broken, exudate flows out, and scabs are formed after drying. The lesions are often distributed symmetrically. Eczema is sometimes a dry type, with a small amount of grayish-white bran-like scaling on the small papules. It can also be seborrheic type, with light yellow oily liquid oozing out of small maculopapules and later forming scabs. It is more common on the top of the head, between the eyebrows, beside the nose, and behind the ears, but the itching is not too obvious. 1. Prevention of baby eczema: Prevention of baby eczema is very important. Children's underwear should usually be made of soft and loose cotton or fine fabrics, not chemical fiber fabrics. Avoid wool fabrics and knitted clothes for both inner and outer clothing. It is best to wear cotton padded jackets, cotton-padded jackets, flannel shirts, etc.

Pay close attention to the child's digestive status and whether he or she is allergic to foods such as milk, eggs, fish, and shrimp. Breastfeeding mothers should avoid eating such foods that are likely to cause allergies. Children should avoid irritation from alkaline soaps, cosmetics or perfumes. Do not receive BCG or other preventive vaccinations during the illness period. Avoid contact with patients with herpes simplex (commonly known as "fever sores") to prevent the development of herpetic eczema. 2. The following treatment measures should be taken for infant eczema: 1. The general treatment principle is: find out the cause, treat the symptoms, feed reasonably, and provide careful care. Generally speaking, we should first observe whether there is food allergy, especially allergy to animal protein such as milk, breast milk or egg white; secondly, the mother can eat fish, shrimp, crab, chicken, etc., which can also be passed to the baby through breast milk. After eating these animal foods, we should observe whether the baby's skin disease worsens. If it is related to the above situation, the baby should change the feeding method; if it is allergic to breast milk, use milk instead, if it is allergic to milk, use breast milk instead, or the mother should not eat fish, shrimp, crab and other foods during breastfeeding. At the same time, the baby's indigestion, constipation and diarrhea should be treated in time. 2. Commonly used internal medications include diphenhydramine syrup, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, etc. Antibiotics should be added when secondary infection occurs. 3. The topical medication should be determined according to the condition of skin lesions. When there is water exudation, erosion, redness or swelling, apply wet compress with 2% boric acid aqueous solution or 0.1 reflavonoid aqueous solution. After the exudation and erosion disappear, apply topical corticosteroid preparations, such as eczema cream, dehumidifying oil, skin relaxing cream, etc. 3. When caring for a baby with eczema, pay attention to the following points: 1. Avoid contact of irritating substances with the skin, do not wash the affected area with alkaline soap, do not wash the affected area with overly hot water, and do not apply cosmetics or any oils. 2. The room temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will aggravate the itching of eczema. Wear loose-fitting clothes, preferably made of pure cotton.
