What to do if baby gets eczema in hot weather

1 Bedroom Environment

The basic requirements are cool, ventilated and clean, and the room should be cleaned with a wet mop and rag. In the cold season when eczema is severe, you should try to live indoors and ensure the indoor humidity. It is very necessary to use a humidifier in cities with heating.

2 Diet

First of all, breastfeeding is encouraged, and food types should not be blindly banned unless there is clear evidence. For children suspected of being allergic to formula milk, amino acid formula milk or hydrolyzed protein milk powder can be chosen. When adding side dishes, you should follow the principle of starting with a small amount, increasing it slowly, one step at a time, and proceeding step by step. In addition, try to minimize irritation to the skin around the mouth by food and saliva.

3. Clothing

Pure cotton is preferred, and loose and soft is preferred. All items that come into contact with the skin, such as bedding and toys, should be made of natural cotton. Avoid direct contact with the skin with artificial fibers, feathers and wool fabrics. The thickness of clothing should be slightly thinner than that of normal babies of the same age.

4 Skin cleansing care

It is best to bathe in warm water (36℃～38℃) for skin cleansing. Try to reduce the use of skin cleansers and use them only when necessary or on necessary parts. It is advisable to use weak acid cleansers specially designed for children. You can bathe once a day for 5 to 10 minutes. After bathing, apply moisturizer when the skin is moist to prevent moisture loss. Try to use mild, fragrance-free moisturizers. Generally, moisturizers on the market are divided into ointments, creams and lotions. Ointments are used for areas with severe skin dryness, lotions can be used for basically normal skin, and creams are basically in between the two. If you need to apply topical medication, try to apply the medicine first and then the skin care agent. Topical medications must be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Children are the apple of their parents' eyes. When our babies have health problems, parents are the most anxious. Once childhood eczema occurs, it is very easy to recur. Therefore, it is difficult to completely cure this skin disease. Therefore, we must pay attention to daily eating habits in life and avoid constant scratching after the occurrence. Only in this way can childhood eczema slowly recover.
