Why is the child's face red?

Children's skin is more fragile and can be easily stimulated by external factors, causing redness. Therefore, we must protect children, especially not touching their faces casually. Another reason why children’s faces turn red is the plateau red phenomenon. We can formulate different treatment plans according to the baby's skin type. Let's consult a doctor.

The doctor suggested that for eczema, parents should not apply any medicine to their baby if the baby has eczema. In addition to taking your baby to see a doctor and using medication, you should also pay attention to the following general methods of caring for dermatitis.

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.

Parents should never take it lightly if they find their children have red faces. They must let their children wash their hands frequently, exercise more, replenish trace elements in the body, and go to the hospital for timely treatment if necessary. After your baby sweats, be sure to wipe him clean with a clean towel and do not touch his head with your hands to avoid bacteria entering the body. Trim your nails frequently and take more baths.
