Children with contact dermatitis should especially avoid exposing their skin to cold wind or strong sunlight and keep their nails short. If they suffer from severely itchy atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis, parents need to trim their children's nails frequently to prevent them from scratching themselves.

3. Avoid spicy food

Stimulating foods such as chili peppers, alcohol, strong tea, coffee, etc. can aggravate itching and easily cause eczema to worsen or relapse, so they should be avoided.

4. Avoid scratching

Avoid scratching, as scratching can cause the skin to be constantly exposed to mechanical stimulation, causing it to thicken and even cause infection.

5. Avoid blind medication

Dermatitis and eczema have a long course and are prone to recurrence. Patients must cooperate with doctors and receive treatment patiently. Some people are eager to treat the disease and apply high-concentration antipruritic drugs to the lesions without consulting a doctor; this can make the condition worse. Therefore, avoid taking medication without authorization.

6. Bathing taboos

Avoid washing or soaking with hot water. Washing or soaking with hot water will increase the redness and swelling, increase the exudate, and aggravate the condition. Avoid washing with soap, especially highly alkaline soaps, which are chemical irritants to the skin and can aggravate dermatitis and eczema.
