How to care for red spots on baby's belly

The birth of the baby undoubtedly brought great joy to the whole family and also gave them hope. However, at the same time, the birth of a baby also brings worries to young adults who are first-time parents, and how to take care of the baby becomes a big problem. A common problem is red spots on the baby’s belly. What are the care methods for red spots on the baby’s belly? Let me introduce it to you below and we can learn together.

1. Keep your skin clean and dry

When bathing your baby, it is advisable to use warm water and non-alkaline bath products to clean the baby's body. For babies with intertrigo, special attention should be paid to cleaning the folds of the skin. When taking a bath, the shower gel must be rinsed off. After washing, wipe the moisture off the baby's body and apply a non-oily moisturizer to avoid hindering the normal breathing of the skin. The baby's hair should also be washed every day. If the baby has seborrheic dermatitis, washing the head carefully can remove the scabs. If the scab has hardened and stuck to the head, apply olive oil on the affected area and then wash it after a while.

2. Avoid external stimulation

Parents should always pay attention to changes in temperature and humidity around their baby. Babies with contact dermatitis should especially avoid exposing their skin to cold wind or strong sunlight. In summer, after your baby sweats during exercise, you should wipe off his sweat carefully; when the weather is cold and dry, you should apply anti-allergic non-oily moisturizer to your baby. In addition to paying attention to weather changes, parents should not let their babies wear clothes that are easy to irritate the skin, such as wool, silk, nylon, etc.

3. Shorten your nails

If your baby suffers from severely itchy atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis, parents should regularly trim their baby's nails to reduce the chance of scratching.

4. Avoid certain foods

Except for atopic dermatitis, there is no need to abstain from food for other eczema. Let your baby eat less animal protein, such as milk and eggs, only under the supervision of a doctor or nutritionist. It is best not to ban certain foods without clear evidence. It is not recommended to deprive your baby of proper nutrition in order to avoid allergies. During the abstinence period, general treatments, such as lubricants and ointments, must continue to be used.

When a baby is just born, everything is in a newborn state, and the immunity and resistance are very fragile. We must take good care of them, and be serious about their diet and life to avoid invasion and harm from bacteria and viruses. The baby's parents can follow the above suggestions and learn how to care for the red spots on the baby's belly, which can help the baby grow more healthily.
