What to do if baby has ringworm on legs

Children's skin is very tender, but you may often see some things like ringworm on babies' legs or faces. Many parents will be nervous when they see it, because they don't really understand what these are. Let's talk about it in detail.

Eczema is more common in children 2-3 months after birth, distributed on the face, forehead, eyebrows, cheeks, hair and around the ears, and sometimes spreads to all parts of the body. It initially appears as a red maculopapular rash, like a bunch of red bumps, followed by the appearance of rash fluid, and finally scabs and desquamation, which recur repeatedly and cause severe itching.

Caring for baby eczema is important. First of all, allergens should be removed from the diet. For children fed with milk, the milk can be cooked for a longer time to promote the denaturation of milk protein. Rice soup, milk substitutes, and cake powder can also be added to the milk (to increase carbohydrates and reduce foreign proteins). After four months, you can add complementary food and reduce the amount of milk. For breastfed children, mothers should pay attention to their diet, avoid fishy foods, and feed at regular times and in regular amounts.

Secondly, when the baby suffers from eczema, do not wash the affected area with soap. You can wipe it with cotton dipped in peanut oil or paraffin oil, and avoid direct sunlight on the affected area.

Again, when you have eczema, you must not get vaccinated with cowpox, otherwise the reaction will be aggravated by high fever, and cowpox will occur in the eczema area, leaving scars after recovery.

In addition, do not use folk remedies randomly when your child suffers from eczema. Improper use of the medicine will aggravate the condition. You should go to the hospital to ask a dermatologist for treatment and be careful not to let the child scratch everywhere. It is best to cut the child's nails short or wrap the child's fingers with gauze.

Everyone knows that children's skin is very tender and smooth, but if children have ringworm, they must be treated. In fact, there is no need to be nervous if babies have ringworms. Sometimes, ringworms in children are a necessary process, so under normal circumstances, it is best not to give children medicine casually.
