How to treat seborrheic dermatitis in children

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common clinical disease. This disease is closely related to genetic factors. The problem of seborrheic dermatitis must be taken seriously. This disease may occur at all ages. Many children may have problems with seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis is relatively harmful to children's skin, so it must be treated in time. So how can seborrheic dermatitis be treated in children?

1. Neonatal seborrheic eczema mainly occurs in eczematous changes on the scalp, face and areas of sebum secretion. It is mainly due to genetic factors and the skin is more sensitive. For the treatment of this condition, it is generally recommended to use simple vegetable oils, such as soybean oil or olive oil. If these non-drug improvement methods fail to achieve the desired effect, you can choose to use a simple compound camphor cream or hyaluronic acid gel. Hyaluronic acid gel is a good moisturizer that can repair the barrier function of local skin, reduce the secretion of skin oil, and ensure the skin's hydration. Generally, apply it twice a day, which can effectively improve local symptoms and help the recovery of neonatal seborrheic eczema without causing skin irritation.

2. It is recommended to consult a regular hospital , as this can avoid complications of seborrheic dermatitis. As for severe scabs on the scalp, you can apply glycerin, boiled and sterilized vegetable oil or Johnson's moisturizing oil on the scabs to moisturize the skin and temporarily relieve the pain caused by dermatitis to children. Your child should be seen by a dermatologist if the seborrheic dermatitis rash is widespread, the scalp is inflamed, other symptoms occur, or if the condition does not improve within a few weeks. If a dermatologist diagnoses that you have a secondary bacterial or candidal infection, you should go to a regular dermatology hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

3. In addition, parents should remember to pay more attention to changes in temperature and humidity , and give their babies appropriate skin care measures to help prevent seborrheic dermatitis. For example: bathe your baby frequently with clean water or neutral cleaning products, use less soap, pay attention to skin cleanliness, use mild moisturizing products for your baby when the climate is dry, and avoid exposing your baby to the wind for long periods of time; when the air temperature is high, avoid sticky sweat on the baby's skin surface, and use prickly heat powder as appropriate to keep the baby dry and comfortable. In addition, balanced nutrition also has preventive effects.
