What to do if your child has a rash

Children's skin is relatively delicate and easily susceptible to internal or external stimulation, which may cause rashes. This is also a common skin disease. There are many causes of this rash, such as skin allergies, urticaria, and eczema. At this time, you must understand what kind of problem is causing it, and then carry out symptomatic treatment. Stay away from allergens in daily life.

What to do if your child has a rash

1. Eczema is the most common allergic symptom in children

Other allergic symptoms include: food allergies, allergic asthma, and allergic rhinitis. Eczema is just a manifestation of allergies on the baby's skin. Even if the eczema improves, the "root cause" of the allergy will quietly lurk in the baby's body. About 30%-80% of them may develop other allergic diseases in the future, such as asthma after the age of three or four, and allergic rhinitis after the age of seven. In other words: once a baby has allergies, new allergic symptoms may appear after one allergic symptom disappears at different ages. This is medically called the "allergic process."

Therefore, early prevention of baby's allergies can block the allergic process and reduce the baby's risk of allergies in the future.

2. The occurrence of baby eczema is closely related to diet.

Studies show that babies who are exclusively breastfed have relatively few allergies (eczema), while babies who are fed with ordinary infant formula have a higher incidence of allergies (eczema). This is because ordinary infant formula contains large-molecule foreign milk proteins, and some babies cannot tolerate such proteins, so they develop allergies (eczema or food allergies). These babies will have a relatively high risk of developing other allergic diseases in the future.

3. How to prevent baby allergies?

Avoiding such large molecular foreign proteins at an early stage is very effective in preventing allergies. Through high-tech protein hydrolysis technology, the highly allergenic ordinary milk protein is converted into low-allergenic small molecule HA protein. This is the HA low-allergenic formula (i.e. moderately hydrolyzed protein formula), which can reduce the risk of allergies in babies.

A large number of clinical studies have shown that the use of HA formula can reduce the risk of allergies in infants by 50%. Therefore, international authoritative organizations recommend that in the first six months after the baby is born, when breastfeeding is not possible or breast milk is insufficient due to various reasons, using HA low-allergy infant formula (i.e. moderately hydrolyzed protein formula) as early as possible is an effective measure to prevent allergies.
