What kind of medicine is good for infant skin itching

When the seasons change and during the dry seasons of autumn and winter, infants and young children's skin always becomes itchy. This is because infants and young children's skin is very delicate and sensitive, and they will be allergic to many things. Itchy skin can make young children feel very sad and they often cry incessantly. However, some ointments can irritate the skin of young children and are very unsafe. Therefore, young mothers feel very conflicted about using medication for their babies. Today we will talk about what kind of medicine to choose for itchy skin in young children?

Do infants and young children need medication for itchy skin?

Since skin problems such as dermatitis, eczema, and prickly heat are relatively common in infants and young children, if the symptoms are not very obvious, many mothers often choose to let them heal on their own, believing that this is the safest way, because most parents are highly wary of drugs and are deeply afraid that the drugs will have side effects on their babies. Of course, this "conservative" approach is not advisable. Unless the symptoms are indeed mild and gradually show signs of improvement, it is best to seek timely treatment under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the baby from suffering as soon as possible.

What is the best medicine for itchy skin in infants and young children?

What is the best medicine for baby's itchy skin? Should I choose Chinese medicine or Western medicine? Chinese and Western medicine each have their advantages and disadvantages. Western medicine takes effect quickly and has good therapeutic effects. It has advantages in short-term treatment, but long-term use can cause the skin to become thinner and red, and the blood vessels to become exposed. The skin's immunity decreases and becomes sensitive. It is easily affected by external cold and warm stimuli. In addition, there will be pigmentation that makes the skin darker and redder. Children and women in particular should not buy hormone ointments and apply them casually, let alone use them for a long time. Relatively speaking, Chinese herbal ointments for external use are milder, have fewer side effects, and can be used for a longer period of time, but their effects are slower to show. Therefore, the best way is to combine the advantages of both, maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses, and ensure both efficacy and safety.

The above introduction is our recommendation for the use of medication for itchy skin in young children. The skin of infants and young children is delicate, so when choosing medicine, you must choose mild medicines with few side effects, so as not to leave unpleasant marks on the baby's skin. Also, in the high-incidence season of itching, you must clean the baby's skin more often, ensure the baby's hygiene, and let the baby get more sun exposure, which will help reduce the itching of the baby's skin. We hope our suggestions can help you.
