What to do if baby eczema is scratched and bleeds

The chance of skin diseases like eczema occurring in infants and young children is very high, especially in winter. Eczema will make babies feel very itchy, so they will scratch the affected area. If the scratching is too strong or lasts too long, it will cause skin damage and bleeding. If this situation is not handled properly, infection may occur. So what should babies do if they scratch and bleed due to eczema?

First, what should I do if my baby’s eczema is scratched and bleeds? If there are signs of infection, it is recommended to use iodine to disinfect. Then apply baby eczema cream for treatment. You can take loratadine orally for treatment and avoid eating seafood and spicy foods. Use Kangfuxin liquid to clean the affected area where the skin is broken and water is oozing, and then apply zinc oxide ointment. Apply Qumizaxin cream to the unbroken skin, twice a day. Be careful not to wash the affected area with hot water, do not wash with soap or shower gel, and eat a light diet.

Second, infant eczema is caused by allergies to food, contact objects, etc. Eczema can make the baby's skin feel itchy. When the baby feels itchy, it affects the baby's sleep, and also affects the baby's physical and intellectual development. In addition, once a baby with eczema scratches the skin, it is easy for bleeding and water to occur. So pay special attention to it. Although some drugs such as Fuqingsong can improve the condition, they cannot completely cure the disease. Moreover, these drugs usually contain hormones, so try not to use them.

What should you do if your baby’s eczema is scratched and bleeds? Apply medication under the doctor’s instructions and do not use highly irritating topical medications. The eczema area should not be washed with water, especially hot water and soap. You can use gauze dipped in sterilized vegetable oil or paraffin oil to wipe and gently remove the scab. Eczema lesions are more difficult to wash with water. Avoid irritating substances from contacting the skin. Do not use alkaline soap to wash the affected area. Do not apply skin care products or any oils. When there is a lot of exudate, use 3% boric acid water for wet compresses. Do not take a bath when eczema is severe, especially on the head and face. Baby items should be placed separately, and the basin for washing pillowcases and quilts should be separate from the basin for washing diapers and clothes. Avoid scratching in children and avoid contact with silk, wool and other clothing. In terms of diet, mothers should not eat eggs, shrimps, crabs and other foods for the time being. You should eat more foods rich in vegetable oils, because unsaturated fatty acids reach the baby's body through breast milk and can prevent the increase of capillary fragility and permeability, which is the pathological basis of infant eczema.
