What to do if your child's face peels

Many mothers will find that their children's faces will peel when the seasons change, especially in autumn. There are many reasons for peeling on children's faces. In many cases, when children experience peeling, it is a relatively normal peeling of the keratinized layer of the skin. At this time, mothers do not need to worry or be nervous. Only peeling caused by some diseases or other reasons needs to be treated.

Physiological shedding of keratinized layer

Some parents find that when they bathe or change clothes for their babies, they often find thin, soft, white flakes falling off their baby's face. This is peeling. When the baby's face is peeling, parents will worry whether the baby has a skin disease. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon.

Specific reasons:

1. The keratinized layer of the baby's skin, that is, the outermost layer of the epidermis, is easy to fall off due to its immature development. 2. The inner layer of the skin is called the dermis, and between the epidermis and the dermis is the basement membrane. The baby's basement membrane is not yet fully developed, it is tender and soft, which makes the connection between the epidermis and dermis loose, increasing the chance of epidermal shedding.

2. Moreover, the baby is in warm amniotic fluid before birth. After birth, it is stimulated by the external environment, such as cold and dry air, which causes the skin to shrink and become more prone to peeling.

Suggestion: Peeling of the baby's face is a very normal phenomenon. It is a normal reaction of the baby's skin after contact with the air after birth. As long as parents pay more attention to the cleaning and care of their baby's skin to avoid external infection and damage, there is no need to worry about it, nor do they need to take medicine. It is not a skin disease and the peeling will get better after a few days.

Seasonal dryness and peeling

The most common cause of skin peeling in babies is seasonal peeling, especially in dry seasons. The baby's skin is delicate and can be easily affected by the climate, causing dehydration and peeling. Especially for people with dry skin, they should pay more attention to skin care. If you are not careful, the skin will be affected by environmental factors and become dry and peeling. If your face always feels dry, you should pay attention. Specific reasons:

1. Facial peeling often occurs in spring. If the skin is allergic, you should pay attention to maintenance. In fact, you should start sun protection in this season. Because the sun is not very strong in this season, there are still ultraviolet rays that can still harm our skin.

2. It may be caused by dry skin. The weather is relatively dry in winter and spring, especially in spring, so the skin will peel.

3. When the seasons change, the skin is prone to lack of moisture, so it is recommended that you replenish water and pay attention to maintenance. Skin care products are relatively oily.

Baby rash

1. No matter what kind of rash it is, it is accompanied by waves of severe itching. Babies often lean on their mothers' bodies and rub against them to relieve the itching until the small blisters break and form large areas of red and moist erosions.

2. At this time, there is a lot of exudate, which can soak clothes and bedding. After drying, it will form a scab and fall off. It may also lead to purulent infection or cause swelling of nearby lymph nodes.
