When a child develops eczema, the doctor will prescribe ointments with different functions depending on the severity of the eczema symptoms. For those with milder symptoms, you can use baby eczema cream, zinc oxide ointment, etc. If there are already many small red spots, you can use Chinese medicine snake fat ointment. Parents need to note that since these ointments may contain hormonal ingredients, they are only suitable for short-term use. If eczema recurs, ointment will need to be used again. New mothers must not act based on experience, but must see a doctor again and give their baby the medicine based on a new prescription.

How to care?

1. Eczema is more likely to occur when exposed to heat, so the water used to wipe the baby’s face or bathe the baby should not be too hot.

2. Babies without skin erosion or infection can take the heat-clearing and detoxifying decoction (the first dose) and bathe with the second dose of the decoction, which is helpful to relieve itching and rash .

3. Try to take a bath with clean water without using any bath or skin care products. Because these products always contain chemical ingredients such as fragrances, baby's skin is prone to dryness in winter, so you can use the simplest glycerin (you can buy pure glycerin at the pharmacy and mix it with water yourself) to apply it.
