It may be pediatric eczema. Here are some common sense about eczema:

Pediatric eczema is an allergic skin disease, which is commonly known as an allergic skin disease. The main cause is intolerance or allergy to ingested, inhaled or contacted substances. Children with eczema initially develop red skin and rashes, followed by roughness and flaking of the skin. Touching the child's skin feels like touching sandpaper. Heat and humidity can make eczema more obvious.

According to the different manifestations of eczema, it can be divided into three types: ① Exudative type, also known as wet type, is mainly characterized by exudation and erosion; ② Dry type is mainly characterized by bran-like desquamation; ③ Seborrheic type, the exudate is like poria, and the itching is not too severe.

Causes

Direct cause

The causes of baby eczema are complex, among which allergies are the most important. Therefore, babies with a family history of allergies (such as father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, brothers and sisters and other family members have had eczema, allergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, asthma, food allergies and drug allergies, etc.) are prone to eczema.

Predisposing factors

For babies with eczema, many substances can induce or aggravate the symptoms of eczema, such as protein in food, especially fish, shrimp, eggs and milk, contact with chemicals (skin care products, bath products, cleaning agents, etc.), wool products, chemical fiber products, plants (various plant pollens), animal leather and feathers, infections (viral infections, bacterial infections, etc.), sunlight exposure, high ambient temperature or wearing too warm or cold clothes, etc., can all stimulate the baby's eczema to recur or worsen. There is a special type of pediatric eczema that often occurs around the child's anus and is often accompanied by pinworm infection, called pinworm eczema.
