What to do if baby has red spots on his hands

The most common cause of red spots on babies' hands is eczema. Because babies are relatively small and their immune systems are not yet fully developed, they are easily affected by internal or external factors, resulting in skin allergies. At this time, we must emphasize care and pay attention to the cleanliness of the child's skin. The clothes the child wears should be pure cotton, and the indoor environment should be clean and dry. In addition, attention should be paid to the child's breastfeeding. During the breastfeeding period, the mother should also pay attention to the child's diet.

What to do if baby has red spots on his hands

Eczema is generally easy to treat. The key lies in the area and severity of the rash. Eczema is prone to recurrence, so it is necessary to control the disease first and then reduce recurrence.

Choosing medicine for eczema is a very critical thing. Generally, there are two "don'ts": 1. Don't use those containing hormones; 2. Don't stop taking the medicine during treatment.

Here's why you shouldn't

Do not use those containing hormones: Western medicine generally belongs to hormone drugs, and hormone drugs are only used to suppress the condition when it is serious. Long-term use will make the skin resistant and will also irritate the skin, so it is not recommended.

Do not stop taking the medicine during treatment: This is of course referring to traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine generally recommends stopping the treatment of eczema. During treatment, many people stop taking the medicine when they see improvement, but the condition will become serious again after a few days. Never stop taking the medicine during traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and continue to use it for a period of time after the surface symptoms disappear, so that the internal toxins can be completely eliminated.

The cause of eczema is allergic reaction. There are many factors that cause allergies, such as drugs, food, clothing, pollen, cosmetics, etc. Try to find the cause, isolate the allergens, and avoid further stimulation. Treatment should start from two aspects: blocking allergens and anti-allergic treatment. Try to identify the cause of the disease and eliminate it. At the same time, you should also pay attention to changes in temperature, add or remove clothes as the temperature changes, and strengthen physical exercise.

What to do if your baby has eczema on his face

1. Keep your skin dry. Do not use hot water to wash your baby's face. Use warm water and avoid using strong alkaline soaps. Keep your skin dry, neither too dry nor apply moisturizer with too many additives. Pay attention to cleaning your baby's hair. If the baby has seborrheic dermatitis and the scabs have hardened and stuck to the head, apply olive oil on the affected area first and then wash it after a while.

2. Cut your nails frequently. Cut your baby's nails frequently to prevent them from scratching their skin and causing secondary infection.

3. Choose products that do not contain hormones. There are many kinds of medicines on the market for treating baby eczema, but most of the medicines that claim to be quick and effective contain hormones. Once the medicine is stopped, the baby's eczema may relapse or even become more serious. Moreover, the residues after long-term use can cause abnormal skin color. Therefore, parents need to choose hormone-free products for babies with eczema to prevent future problems. Among them, hormone-free products are further divided into pure Chinese medicine ingredients and plant ingredients. It is generally believed that Chinese medicine products contain more complex ingredients and are therefore suitable for older children and adults. When a baby develops eczema on his face, parents should not apply medicine to the baby without authorization. They should use medicine under the guidance of a doctor according to the severity of the condition.

4. Avoid certain foods. Let your baby eat less animal protein, such as milk and eggs, and this must be done under the supervision of a doctor or nutritionist. Fish, shrimp and other irritating foods should be avoided during this period. For breastfeeding babies, mothers should also be careful not to eat seafood, shrimp, crab, and peppers.

5. Avoid external stimulation. Parents should always pay attention to changes in temperature and humidity around their baby. Babies with contact dermatitis should especially avoid exposing their skin to cold wind or strong sunlight. In summer, after your baby sweats during exercise, you should wipe off his sweat carefully; when the weather is cold and dry, you should apply anti-allergic non-oily moisturizer to your baby. In addition to paying attention to weather changes, parents should not let their babies wear clothes that are easy to irritate the skin, such as wool, silk, nylon, etc.
