Children are young and have relatively poor immunity. Usually, they get inflamed due to weather or diet. If a child's nose gets inflamed and ulcerated, this is medically called impetigo. The main group of patients with this type of impetigo is children, especially in summer, the incidence rate is relatively high. In this case, active treatment should be given. Let's take a look at this aspect.

1. Active treatment

After a child is diagnosed with impetigo, parents must take the child to treatment in time to avoid the condition from becoming serious. At the same time, disinfection and isolation must be done to avoid infection to other people, especially children who are already in school need to stop attending classes and wait until they recover before going to school. Parents also need to disinfect towels, pillowcases, quilts and other items used by the children to avoid recurrent infections that affect recovery.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene

Children should be urged to pay attention to personal hygiene, not touch objects around them, wash their hands frequently, change clothes frequently, cut their nails frequently, etc. They should not scratch the affected area with their hands. They need to keep their skin dry and clean at all times to speed up the recovery of pus scars. In addition, if the child has skin diseases such as eczema and prickly heat, parents should not ignore it and should take the child to treatment as soon as possible to avoid affecting the condition of impetigo. Therefore, paying attention to personal hygiene and cleanliness is one of the important methods to treat impetigo in children, and it must be done well.

3. Children protect the wound surface of pus scars

How to deal with impetigo in children? Impetigo mainly occurs in summer. It is easy to sweat in summer. Sweat can cause strong discomfort to the affected skin. Many children have poor self-control and are prone to scratching, which causes the skin lesions to expand and cause secondary infection. Therefore, parents must urge their children to protect the wound surface. When sweating too much, they must wipe it clean with a towel in time.

How to treat impetigo in children? The above three treatment steps must be remembered carefully. It is very common for children to get impetigo. It is not an incurable disease, so parents do not need to worry too much. They should deal with it in time, take good care of their children, avoid running around or touching things, and urge their children not to scratch the affected skin areas, which will cause damage to the skin wounds and infection by bacteria, aggravating the child's impetigo condition and increasing the difficulty of treatment. Severe cases may also leave permanent scars.
