Children's skin allergies

In order to make their children have good skin, many mothers often apply skin care products to their children, thinking that this can protect their children's skin. In fact, skin care products are an allergen for many children. When children have allergies, the first thing parents think of is to stop using skin care products. Another allergen for children's skin allergies is the food they like to eat, the beverages they are used to drinking, etc.

If one or both parents have allergies, the child is very likely to inherit the disease, especially when there is a family history of allergies. Parents should pay close attention to their children in daily life and take early prevention measures. Breastfeeding can prevent baby's skin allergies to a certain extent.

Symptoms of skin allergies in children:

⑴General symptoms

Children may experience flushing of the cheeks, nose and earlobes, moist ear canals, earaches, nasal congestion, sneezing, dark circles under the eyes, swollen and drooping eyelids, headaches, dry lips, dry or sweaty skin, wrinkles at the corners of the eyes or palms, abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, constipation, eczema on the arms, legs or joints, recurrent infections, chronic coughs, asthma, shallow, rapid or irregular breathing, irregular pulse, increased blood pressure, tight joints, etc.

⑵Behavioral changes

Children of different age groups behave differently.

Treatment: Stop excessive scratching

Itch is the most common clinical symptom of skin diseases. When the skin is itchy, you will have the desire to scratch. It is unrealistic not to scratch at all, but excessive scratching will aggravate the skin disease. In order to get temporary relief, patients scratch the itchy skin vigorously until the skin bleeds. As a result, the more they scratch, the more itchy it becomes, and the more itchy it becomes, the more they scratch, forming a vicious cycle. In fact, excessive scratching can aggravate many skin diseases.

Children with skin allergies should pay attention to eating light foods, more vegetables and fruits, and less seafood, beef, mutton, etc. Do not use hot water to wash allergic skin. Children generally do not need to use skin care products. Just dry their face with a towel after washing. If children's skin allergies recur, they must go to the hospital to find the allergens to avoid worsening the condition.
