What to do if a newborn has eczema on his face

The skin of a newborn is at its most vulnerable. If it is not cleaned properly, it can easily cause skin diseases. Eczema is a common disease in newborns. Moreover, eczema will cause abnormal itching after an attack, which is very unbearable for newborns. Therefore, if a newborn has eczema on his face, it must be treated in time. So, what should you do if your newborn has eczema on his face?

Whether the baby is breastfed or milk-fed, he or she may develop milk tumors, which are caused by improper care. Therefore, every time the baby finishes feeding, you must wipe the face clean in time. It is best to wipe it with a hot towel. You should also pay attention to the baby's hygiene and keep the skin dry to avoid similar skin damage.

Infant eczema occurs when the baby is drinking milk, and some babies' eczema worsens when drinking milk, so it is commonly known as "milk rash". However, this "milk rash" is not the "rash" as people imagine. If you use drugs to treat "rash" to treat infant eczema, the condition will worsen.

Infant eczema is a common skin disease in infancy. It is an allergic disease and is an acute or subacute eczema that occurs on the head and face of infants. Generally, it can be cured in a short period of time. Stubborn ones often have unbearable itching which cannot be cured for a long time. Most of them can heal themselves after the age of 2, but a few can extend to infancy or childhood, often affecting the physical and mental health of children.

Infant eczema is first seen in infants aged 1-3 months. Neonatal eczema is also called neonatal eczema. Children with infant eczema are prone to develop other allergic diseases in the future, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, etc.

Infant eczema is a common, multiple, and recurring skin inflammation. Its causes are mostly related to genetics and external factors.

Direct cause: The causes of baby eczema are complex, among which allergic factors are the most important. Therefore, babies with a family history of allergic constitution (such as father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, brothers and sisters and other family members have had eczema, allergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, asthma, food allergies and drug allergies, etc.) are prone to eczema. If both of a child's parents have allergies, then the child has a 70% chance of having allergies; if one of the parents has an allergic constitution, the child still has a 50% chance of having allergies.

Triggering factors: For babies with eczema, many substances can trigger or aggravate the symptoms of eczema, such as protein in food, especially fish, shrimp, eggs and milk, contact with chemicals (skin care products, toiletries, cleaning products, etc.), wool products, chemical fiber products, plants (various plant pollens), animal leather and feathers, infections (viral infections, bacterial infections, etc.), sunlight exposure, high ambient temperature or wearing too warm or cold clothes, etc., can all stimulate the baby's eczema to recur or worsen. There is a special type of pediatric eczema that often occurs around the child's anus and is often accompanied by pinworm infection, called pinworm eczema.
