What to do if baby has eczema in private parts

Eczema is actually one of the simpler skin diseases to cure, but the trouble is that when it occurs, eczema will basically appear all over the body, and there is no regular distribution. Sometimes even children’s private parts will have eczema. If a baby has eczema on his private parts, the first thing to do is to eliminate the source of infection that may cause the eczema. At the same time, pay attention to whether the baby's bowel movements are smooth. You can feed some honey water to moisten the intestines and facilitate bowel movements. Finally, be careful not to let the child scratch his private parts.

Use the food elimination method to identify foods that cause allergies. Babies who are allergic to cow's milk can be fed with goat's milk or special allergy-causing milk powder instead. For breastfed babies, the feeding time should be shortened and mussel juice or light fruit juice can be fed between two breastfeedings. Breastfeeding mothers should also have a light diet, because some allergens in the diet can enter the baby's body through breast milk. Therefore, they should eat less egg and dairy products, as well as spicy, seafood, and fishy foods, such as onions, garlic, peppers, leeks, fish, shrimp, etc.

Pay attention to keeping your baby's bowel movements smooth. People with constipation can often drink some honey water or change their diet. Those who have frequent bowel movements can drink an appropriate amount of Shenqu or malt boiled in water to aid digestion. If you have indigestion, seek prompt treatment.

Children should pay attention to eating at regular times and in regular amounts, and it is best to eat breast milk. Breastfeeding can prevent eczema caused by allergy to foreign proteins caused by milk feeding. If complementary foods have been added, do not feed your child fish paste, shrimp paste, eggs, milk, beef paste, etc. during the illness.

Try to avoid eating protein foods such as milk and eggs. Older children should avoid eating meaty and irritating foods, such as eggs, milk, and seafood. As children grow older, they can be given multivitamin foods, but they should not be allowed to overeat. Attention should also be paid to the nature, preparation and feeding intervals of the diet. Be sure to ensure that your baby gets enough sleep. When sleeping, parents need to keep the baby's hands away from the vulva to avoid the baby scratching the vulva with his hands, causing skin damage and increasing the chance of infection and allergies.

Eczema occurring in the vulva area will cause pain and itching for children, especially for children wearing diapers. Diapers make the vulva area airtight and moist, making vulvar eczema very likely to occur. Therefore, parents should pay attention and use the face as diapers, wash it regularly, and disinfect it in time to prevent recurrence. The treatment of eczema requires patience.
