Best treatment for eczema in children

1. Overall treatment principles:

To choose the best treatment for baby eczema, you must first prescribe the right medicine. There are many types of medicines that can be used for baby eczema, and parents should use the medicines under the guidance of a doctor. Before changing to a new medication, be sure to remove the previous medication. When changing medications, it is best to apply it to a small area of ​​eczema on the baby's skin first, observe the effect, and decide whether to use it. Avoid aggravating the condition due to improper use of medications.

2. Cold and wet compress:

(1) Commonly used 1:10000 potassium permanganate solution for wet compresses (be careful to make sure the potassium permanganate is completely dissolved, as undissolved potassium permanganate will burn the baby's skin). This not only cleans the wound surface, but also has a bactericidal, astringent and oxidative effect.

(2) Use 4-6 layers of gauze, making sure it does not drip water. Apply the wet gauze to the wound surface. The time and frequency of replacement should be determined based on the amount of exudate from the eczema. When the exudate absorbed by the gauze reaches half saturation, replace the gauze. Two to three times daily. When there is a lot of exudate, the dressing should be changed more frequently during wet compresses to avoid leaving the dressing soaked with exudate on the wound for a long time, which will irritate the surrounding normal skin and cause the wound to expand.

(3) For large-area eczema, proper attention should be paid to the nature, concentration and size of the compress area of ​​the drug.

(4) If the redness and swelling of the wound gradually subside, the exudate decreases, and the wound is dry, stop applying wet compresses and use paste instead.

In daily life, children's illnesses are much more troublesome to treat than adults', especially skin problems like eczema. In addition to treatment in the hospital, parents must also strictly control their children's diet in private and trim their nails in time to prevent them from scratching the wounds unconsciously with food.
