Are there small red spots around my baby's eyes eczema?

The baby's skin is particularly delicate. If small red spots appear around the baby's eyes, it may be caused by eczema. For example, if you do not pay attention to timely cleaning of the skin when the child cries, it may induce eczema. When the baby has eczema, some hormone drugs cannot be used. You can use some non-sensitive ointments for treatment, and also strengthen daily care.

What to do if your baby has eczema

How to treat neonatal eczema? First of all, parents must do a good job of care to prevent their baby’s eczema from getting worse. Secondly, when choosing medicine, it is best to consult a doctor and choose medicine that does not contain hormones, is mild and has no side effects. Finally, you can apply cold and wet compresses to the baby's affected area to alleviate the condition.

1. Overall treatment principles: 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 and become very serious. However, the residues after long-term use can cause abnormal skin color, such as pale or even darkening. 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. Do not choose blindly. In fact, Chinese medicine products contain complex ingredients, so they are suitable for older children and adults.

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.

(5) Please note when applying cold wet compress: the wet compress area should not exceed 1/3 of the body area to avoid excessive evaporation from the body surface causing dehydration in the baby.
