Red rash on children's chin

If your baby has a lot of red rashes on his chin, this may be caused by eczema. The baby's skin is usually delicate. If it is rubbed by hard objects or clothes for a long time, it is easy to cause red rashes on the chin. To alleviate this situation, it is best to dress the baby in cotton clothes, pay attention to local hygiene, minimize friction, and apply ointment to the baby under the guidance of a doctor.

Best treatment for eczema

1. Overall treatment principles:

There are many types of medicines that can be used for baby eczema, and parents should use the medicines under the guidance of a doctor. Before changing to a new medication, be sure to remove the previous medication. When changing medications, it is best to apply it to a small area of ​​eczema on the baby's skin first, observe the effect, and decide whether to use it. Avoid aggravating the condition due to improper use of medications.

The method of treating infant eczema depends on the symptoms of eczema, such as local erythema, papules, scales, and scabs. Do not use hormone-containing drugs and ointments. If there is a lot of ulcer exudate, you should use cold wet compress with solution, and then apply milk ringworm ointment after scab formation.

For babies whose eczema is not serious, only local medication is needed, but you should not abuse the medication on your own to avoid causing skin damage or infection.

2. Cold and wet compress:

(1) Commonly used wet compresses are 1:10,000 potassium permanganate solution (be careful to make sure the potassium permanganate is completely dissolved, as undissolved potassium permanganate will burn the baby's skin). This not only cleans the wound surface, but also has a bactericidal, astringent and oxidative effect.

(2) 4-6 layers of fine gauze, not dripping water, are applied to the wound surface with wet gauze. The time and frequency of replacement are determined according to the amount of exudate from the eczema. When the exudate absorbed by the gauze reaches half saturation, the gauze should be replaced. Two to three times daily. When there is a lot of exudate, the dressing should be changed more frequently during wet compresses to avoid leaving the dressing soaked with exudate on the wound for a long time, which will irritate the surrounding normal skin and cause the wound to expand.

(3) For large-area eczema, proper attention should be paid to the nature, concentration and size of the compress area of ​​the drug.

(4) If the redness and swelling of the wound gradually subside, the exudate decreases, and the wound is dry, you can stop applying wet compresses and use paste instead.

(5) Please note when applying cold wet compress: the wet compress area should not exceed 1/3 of the body area to avoid excessive evaporation from the body surface causing dehydration in the baby.

Things to note when caring for eczema

1. Avoid irritating substances from coming into contact with the baby's skin. Do not use alkaline soap to wash the baby's eczema, and do not use overly hot water to wash the affected area.

2. The room temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will aggravate the itching of eczema. Wear loose-fitting clothes, preferably made of pure cotton.

3. Breastfeeding can prevent eczema caused by allergy to foreign proteins caused by milk feeding.

4. During the period of infant eczema, do not vaccinate against smallpox (smallpox has disappeared and smallpox vaccination is no longer used), and do not come into contact with people with herpes simplex to avoid herpes.
