What causes baby eczema?

1. Direct causes of baby eczema are complex, among which allergic factors are the most important. Therefore, babies with a family history of allergies (such as father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, brothers and sisters and other family members have had eczema, allergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, asthma, food allergies and drug allergies, etc.) are prone to eczema.

2. Triggering factors: For babies with eczema, many substances can induce or aggravate the symptoms of eczema, such as protein in food, especially fish, shrimp, eggs and milk, contact with chemicals (skin care products, toiletries, cleaning products, etc.), wool products, chemical fiber products, plants (various plant pollens), animal leather and feathers, infections (viral infections, bacterial infections, etc.), sunlight exposure, high ambient temperature or wearing too warm or cold clothes, etc., can all stimulate the baby's eczema to recur or worsen.

3. Internal causes of infant eczema Infants are prone to eczema due to their own factors. This is because the stratum corneum of infants' skin is relatively thin, the capillary network is rich, and the endothelium contains more water and chloride, making them more sensitive to various stimuli, so it is also called infant eczema. Childhood eczema itself is not caused by humidity, but humidity can make eczema worse.
