Small red pimples on the baby's face

When the baby is in the mother's womb, the surrounding environment is not stimulating enough. Once born and exposed to this world, the baby may feel cold or hot. If the baby is wrapped too thickly, he or she will develop eczema and small red bumps will appear on the body. He or she may also be bitten by mosquitoes or the breastfed baby may be allergic to fish and shrimp, which may be caused by the mother eating fish and shrimp.

1. Western medicine generally says that eczema is caused by allergies. If you just think about it, the most effective ointment is the one containing hormones. The ingredients are generally not indicated, and they all contain hormones as soon as you use them. But regardless of relapse, dependence may also occur. So it has been useless. I used mugwort, sophora flavescens, and wild yam for bathing, and when the baby was older, I gave him mung bean soup. The effect of mugwort water was slow, so I asked an old Chinese doctor to prescribe some medicine for me to take a bath, and the effect was not much different. After using it for a month or two, it finally got better.

2. The baby may have infant eczema or skin allergies. It is best to take your baby to the hospital for a check-up to find out what the cause is and to provide symptomatic treatment. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should be careful not to eat foods that are prone to cause allergies, such as fish, shrimp, lamb, etc., and it is best not to eat irritating foods such as chili peppers. Do not use strong alkaline soap or hot water to wash the affected skin. Dress your baby in loose cotton clothes to avoid friction from clothing that may aggravate eczema.

3. Newborns and young infants who are wrapped too thickly or dressed too thickly after birth, who are not adapted to the room temperature and who have poor air circulation may develop heat rash and eczema, which is also related to the weak stratum corneum of the newborn's skin. It is recommended to maintain a suitable room temperature and air circulation, not to dress or wrap them too thickly, drink plenty of water, and use honeysuckle water to scrub locally or apply Fule Cream and Eleson Ointment when necessary to relieve the symptoms.

measure:

1. Dress

Change your baby's clothes to pure cotton, and make them as loose, thin and soft as possible. This can reduce the irritation to the baby's skin and is very breathable. Here I want to add one thing: some parents like to let their babies be naked in the summer, which is actually very wrong. Although it looks cool and comfortable, it is easy to be stimulated by the adverse external environment and is also prone to heat rash.

2. Diet

At this time, babies should eat less or no pungent food, even a little bit, because babies are very sensitive, even if they feel it is just a little bit spicy. Eat more light soups, for example: mung bean soup, three-bean soup (mung bean, red bean, black bean, these three beans are cooked together and drink both the beans and the soup). These soups can not only replenish water and relieve heat, but also supplement vitamins.

3 Many people think that using prickly heat powder directly is enough. Personally, I suggest that you should use prickly heat powder as little as possible. Although prickly heat powder can help babies eliminate heat rash, if it is not used in the correct way or is used improperly, it will not only fail to eliminate the rash, but it is also likely to make things worse. If you must use prickly heat powder, you must pay attention to two points: first, make sure the baby's skin is clean, because if the prickly heat powder comes into contact with water, it will clump into granules, and will constantly rub against the baby's tender skin, causing skin damage; secondly, children's prickly heat powder and adult's prickly heat powder are very different, and they must be distinguished. Adult's prickly heat powder contains boric acid, which is prohibited in children's prickly heat powder.
