There are various types of skin diseases, and eczema is one of them. This skin disease is prone to occur in children and will affect their daily lives, so timely treatment is very important. If the situation is serious, you should take the child to the hospital for examination in time and treat it according to the doctor’s advice. Let’s take a look at what to do if a three-year-old child has eczema?

If a child has eczema, you should clean his or her skin well and keep it dry. Do not use alkaline products to clean the child, especially the wrinkles of the skin, which should be cleaned thoroughly. After washing, wipe off the moisture and apply some moisturizer. This way, the child's skin will feel more comfortable.

Do not let your child come into contact with irritating objects again, do not let harmful substances irritate the skin again, do not expose them to the sun during an eczema attack, and do not expose them to cold wind. Sweat should be wiped off immediately after sweating, preferably with a warm towel. If the weather is cold, you should use some non-oily moisturizer on your child and do not let your child wear nylon or wool clothes.

If a three-year-old child develops eczema, parents should prevent the child from scratching with their hands, as the bacteria on the hands can easily affect the skin and make the eczema problem worse. If the child has severe itching symptoms, parents should apply some ointment to the child appropriately and trim the child's nails to avoid scratching.

If your baby has dry eczema, you should pay attention to moisturizing. When suffering from eczema, apply Zhiyuantang eczema cream to the baby 4 to 6 times a day. This is sold on Taobao; before and after eczema, do normal skin care and apply baby moisturizer 2 to 3 times a day.
