How to treat baby's chin eczema

We all know that the baby's skin is relatively delicate and prone to problems. Eczema is the most common disease among many babies. It usually occurs on the face. Many babies often spit up milk or drool when feeding, which can easily lead to eczema on the chin. Eczema must be treated in time, otherwise it will cause great harm to the baby. Let's learn how to treat baby chin eczema.

1Infant eczema, commonly known as milk ringworm, is a common allergic skin inflammation caused by internal and external factors. The skin lesions are polymorphic lesions mainly composed of papules and herpes, with a tendency to exudate, recurrent attacks, overlapping acute and chronic phases, accompanied by severe itching, and the cause is often difficult to determine.

How to treat baby's chin eczema

1. Diet management

It is best to find and avoid the allergen. Children who are allergic to milk protein should switch to amino acid formula powder or extensively hydrolyzed protein formula powder.

2. Local treatment

Children should take a bath every day to keep their skin clean and moisturized, but the water temperature should not be too high and chemical bath products should be used as little as possible. For exudative and dry eczema, if there is no ulceration on the surface, the child should be given some non-allergic moisturizing cream to play a moisturizing role. For severe eczema, topical corticosteroid cream can be applied short-term, which has obvious anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects. Be careful to avoid long-term and high-dose application to avoid side effects. If the local ulcer is infected, antibiotic ointment needs to be applied locally for anti-inflammatory treatment.

3. Oral antihistamines

Antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine and zolpidem can be taken orally under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Systemic corticosteroids

Whether taken orally or intravenously, corticosteroids can quickly control symptoms, but they are prone to relapse after discontinuation and cannot be cured. Long-term use can cause dependence and various adverse reactions, so they should be used with caution as appropriate. For patients with generalized acute eczema who do not respond well to other treatments, oral prednisone can be taken for a short period of time and the dosage can be gradually reduced after the condition improves.

When babies develop eczema, many mothers will be at a loss, so they always try various treatment methods. After understanding how to treat baby's chin eczema, we must go to the hospital for consultation and treatment in time when the baby's chin develops eczema. At the same time, we must pay attention to keeping the baby's chin skin dry, and do not eat irritating foods such as fish and shrimp, which is more conducive to recovery from the disease.
