What to do if baby has rash on back

Now the baby is the apple of the eyes of grandparents, parents and grandma at home. When the baby is sick, the whole family is sad and goes everywhere to look for doctors and medicines. The whole family is worried all the time. Some time ago, the baby of the neighbor next door had a rash on his back. It’s not a big deal, but the whole family is very anxious. I know there must be many parents who want to know what to do if the baby has a rash on his back.

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.

If you have eczema, you cannot use medicine casually. You should use appropriate medicine according to different stages of the disease. For example, in the acute stage, use 2%-4% boric acid water wet compress, and then apply zinc oxide antipruritic paste; in the subacute stage, you can use calamine lotion; in the chronic stage, use 0.5% cortisone cold cream. Remove scales and scabs before application.

The baby should be well cared for when he is young. If a rash appears on the baby's back, you should avoid unnecessary diseases. If the baby is sick, don't be too anxious. You should first find the cause, take good care of him, and go to the hospital for treatment in time. Don't worry. If it takes a long time to get to the hospital, you can first check the available methods online and try them, and maybe there will be some improvement.
