What to do if your baby has eczema on his face in summer

Baby eczema, commonly known as ringworm, is a common allergic skin problem in infancy. It is most common in infants and young children under 2 years old. Babies with eczema initially have red skin, rashes, and then skin eruptions. It is rough and flaky, and touching the child's skin feels like touching sandpaper. It will get worse when exposed to heat.

The causes of eczema in babies are very complex. There are two main aspects: one is heredity; the other is caused by contact with allergies, such as food, inhalants, living environment, animal fur, various chemical substances, etc. The most important one is caused by allergic factors.

Not only are there many allergens in summer, such as pollen, microorganisms, insects, pet fur and secretions, but the climate is also humid, making it easier for babies to have eczema relapse. If a mother finds a rash like millet grains appearing on her child's cheeks, forehead, scalp, etc., she should pay attention to whether she has eczema!

Staying away from allergens can effectively prevent eczema. To put it bluntly, eczema is actually a problem of allergies, but babies’ allergies are different from older children. Older children may be allergic to food or some inhaled chemicals. Allergies to substances, such as pollen and mites, have more diverse symptoms, including skin, digestive tract, and respiratory symptoms. In babies, most are related to diet, and the manifestations are relatively simple, mainly skin manifestations such as eczema.

To prevent eczema, you must first stay away from allergens. Parents should pay attention to the following tasks:

1. Pay attention to diet: Breastfeeding mothers should also pay special attention to diet, eat less or no allergenic foods and spicy foods, and pay attention to foods that may easily cause allergies. Try to eat less seafood, beef and mutton, etc., and check whether your baby is allergic to milk powder.

2. Pay attention to reducing inhaled substances: Minimize allergens in the environment to reduce allergic reactions caused by stimulation. This includes not keeping pets at home, such as birds, cats, dogs, etc.; indoors should be well ventilated, do not smoke indoors, do not put carpets indoors, and it is best to use wet mopping when cleaning to avoid dust.

3. Close-fitting clothing should be gentle: Baby's clothing, towels and other items that will come into contact with the baby's skin should be made of pure cotton and solid colors to avoid causing allergies. In addition, the bathing and skin care products used for babies should be anti-allergic and mild products.

Pay attention to cleanliness when dealing with eczema:

1. Keep your skin fresh. Humid weather can easily cause the growth of bacteria, so you should provide more ventilation at home to keep it dry and comfortable. Pay special attention to the dryness of your baby's skin and keep your baby's clothes and bedding dry. Also note that the room temperature should not be too high.

2. Pay attention to reasonable cleaning. When your baby has eczema, you must pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene. Do not use strong alkaline soap or hot water to wash the skin of the eczema area, because soap and hot water will wash away the oil on the baby's skin surface. It will make the skin drier and irritate the skin.

When nursing, mothers should take care according to the degree of lightness, and pay attention to keeping the skin dry and clean.
