What ointment should be used for newborn eczema

Eczema is a particularly common disease in newborns. This disease can be treated in certain ways, among which drug treatment is a common method. Of course, parents need to be very careful when giving medication to newborns, because children have relatively poor resistance. If you choose drugs that are highly irritating, contain hormones or chemical substances, it will cause greater harm to the child's skin health!

1. Chinese medicine for infant eczema

Chinese medicine can use 20 grams of honeysuckle and 20 grams of dandelion, boil them into water, filter them after cooling, dip a little with a cool, wet towel, and slowly apply them to the affected area.

Supplement more vitamins C, B1, and B6 in daily life, and let your baby drink some orange juice appropriately. Try not to use hot water or boiling water to wash the affected area. In addition, you can also buy some black bean distilled oil ointment at the pharmacy, dip a small amount with a cotton swab and apply it to the affected area once a day. After applying boric acid or Chinese medicine cold compress, you can then apply ointment for better results. If the eczema covers a large area and the affected skin becomes red and festering, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

2. What medicine to use for baby eczema

1. No hormones

When using eczema products for babies, first of all, you must make sure that they do not contain hormones. This is because the baby's skin is relatively delicate. Once products containing hormones are used on the baby, it is easy for the baby's skin to develop hormone-dependent dermatitis. Any future skin disease will be difficult to cure with general hormone-free drugs and will be prone to relapse.

2. No chemicals

Some products, in order to increase the skin's absorption of medicine, will add some chemical substances into the ointment to penetrate into the skin. In fact, these chemicals are harmful to the skin.

3. No pigment

Most baby eczema ointments are white in color. Only a small number of ointments are light yellow in color, claiming to be formed by natural precipitation of the drug. Such products generally have not undergone national testing and have not had formal production batch numbers. They are generally produced privately and are unsafe. Moreover, such ointments should not be stored at home, especially in the hot summer.

4. No peculiar smell

The ointment has a peculiar smell and is not easy to repair the damaged skin of baby eczema. It is easy to irritate the baby's sense of smell and make eczema difficult to recover. Therefore, most regular and qualified eczema products are odorless or have a faint medicinal scent.

5. No harmful substances

Some folk remedies or traditional pharmaceutical products are not approved or tested by the state, and are made by mixing harmful substances in order to deceive consumers. When used by babies, it not only fails to treat baby eczema, but also poses a health threat to the baby's life.

3. How to treat baby eczema

1. Keep the skin clean and dry: For babies with eczema, special attention should be paid to cleaning the skin folds. When bathing, it is advisable to use warm water and non-alkaline shower gel to clean the baby's body, and the shower gel must be rinsed off. After washing, wipe the moisture off the baby's body and apply a non-oily moisturizer to avoid hindering the normal breathing of the skin.

2. Avoid external stimulation: Parents should always pay attention to changes in temperature and humidity around the baby. Babies with eczema should avoid exposing their skin to cold wind or strong sunlight. In the summer, when the baby sweats, parents should wipe off the sweat for him carefully; when the weather is cold and dry, parents should apply anti-allergic non-oily moisturizer to the baby. In addition to paying attention to weather changes, parents should not let their babies wear clothes that are easy to irritate the skin, such as wool, silk, nylon, etc.

3. Trim nails: When suffering from eczema, babies will feel unbearable itching and will scratch with their hands. Parents should regularly trim their baby's nails to reduce the chance of scratching.

4. Dietary restrictions: Except for atopic dermatitis, there is no need to restrict your diet for other eczema. Let your baby eat less animal protein, such as milk and eggs, only under the supervision of a doctor or nutritionist. It is best not to ban certain foods without clear evidence. It is not recommended to deprive your baby of proper nutrition in order to avoid allergies.
