Eczema is a skin disease caused by multiple factors. The affected area has red spots and unbearable itching, and in severe cases, it may cause erosion. First of all, you should find the cause of the disease, eliminate allergens, avoid alcohol, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Try to reduce external stimulation, do not scratch with your hands, avoid seafood, etc. Clothes should be loose and breathable. With the advice of a doctor, apply some ointment to treat eczema, and take some medicine to treat eczema orally when necessary.

Eczema is a common allergic skin disease in daily life. The specific symptoms are red spots on the hands and neck accompanied by itching. The causes are also varied. For example, if the mother consumes too much spicy food during pregnancy, causing excessive fetal toxins; if the baby is allergic to certain foods; if the baby wears too many clothes, etc., all of which may become the fuse for inducing eczema. So how do you relieve the itching and how do you treat it when your baby has eczema?

1. Take your baby to the hospital for treatment immediately

In daily life, when some parents find that their children have eczema, they either feed them medicine on their own, or blindly believe in folk remedies and smear rice, eggs and other things on their children's faces. This is not only an irresponsible behavior, but may also invisibly aggravate the child's condition. Therefore, it is recommended that when you find that your child has skin problems in life, you should immediately go to the hospital to seek help from a doctor and let him/her treat it with professional techniques.

2. Use a handkerchief to wrap your baby's hands to prevent scratching.

Eczema not only causes red spots and pustules to appear on the skin, but is also accompanied by itching symptoms. For babies, when the affected area feels uncomfortable, they will instinctively want to scratch it with their hands. If parents do not stop them in time, it will easily cause infection symptoms in the affected area, scratch the skin, and leave scars. Therefore, it is recommended to wrap the baby's hands with a handkerchief after applying the ointment to prevent the nails from directly touching the affected area.

3. Keep the skin clean and dry

In daily life, some new mothers dress their babies in too many and too thick clothes for fear that they will catch a cold. Little do they know that this will not only cause the baby to develop eczema symptoms due to overheating, but may also cause infant heat stroke syndrome, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers should insist on scrubbing their baby's body every day, especially the armpits and neck. Pay attention to the water temperature not being too high and try to use less chemical bath products.

4. Find and stay away from allergens

The reasons for eczema in every baby are very different. Some are allergic to milk, some are allergic to egg yolk, some are allergic to seafood, and some are allergic to pollen, etc. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers should learn to pay proper attention to their baby’s diet and the items they come into contact with. Once allergens are found, they should be immediately separated from the baby.

5. Minimize external stimulation

The so-called external stimuli refer to "too strong sunlight, plush toys made of artificial fibers, too tight collars, too cold air", etc., which may inadvertently aggravate the baby's eczema. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers should always pay attention to the temperature changes around the baby in life, and try to avoid exposing the baby's skin directly to the sun. In addition, when buying clothes, they should try to choose cotton ones with loose necklines to avoid irritation to the baby's skin.
