I believe everyone has heard of baby eczema, but I believe that few people have heard of other names for baby eczema, such as "fetal toxins" or "milk rash". This disease is a very common skin disease in infancy. It is most common in infants within 1-5 months. As we all know, the baby's skin is very tender and can be easily affected by external stimuli, so it is easy to develop eczema. Many parents are asking, how long will it take for baby eczema to heal? In fact, it depends on what you use. Baby eczema is generally treated with hormone-free ointment. This type of drug treatment is relatively fast. Use it 1-3 times a day and persist in using it for two weeks to cure it.

In the process of drug treatment, we still need to pay attention to some care methods to avoid affecting the treatment process and prolonging the treatment time. How to properly care for infant eczema during the treatment process to get the best, fastest and safest effect, mainly pay attention to the following 6 points:

1. If the child has eczema, the mother should avoid eating fish, shrimp, crab, eggs and spicy food during breastfeeding, and also avoid drinking alcohol.

2. The child's diet should be regular and quantitative, and it is best to eat breast milk. If the child drinks milk, add more water and less sugar, and boil the milk for a little longer. In addition, if the child has indigestion, he or she should be treated promptly.

3. Avoid letting irritating substances come into contact with your child's skin, especially your child's eczema, and do not apply oil-rich skin care products to the affected area. At the same time, avoid using soap and hot water to wash the affected area.

4. The room temperature should be maintained at a suitable level, as too high a room temperature will aggravate the itching of eczema.

5. Children should be dressed in soft, loose cotton or fine fabric underwear, and chemical fiber fabrics should be avoided. In addition, wool and woolen clothes should be avoided for both inner and outer clothes. Babies' diapers should be washed and changed frequently.

6. Children can be given 0.2% diphenhydramine syrup orally. The dosage should be calculated at 1 to 2 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, taken 3 to 4 times a day. Children can also be given oral chlorpheniramine, with the dosage calculated at 0.35 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, taken 3 to 4 times a day.
