For babies with intertrigo, special attention should be paid to cleaning the folds of the skin. When taking a bath, the shower gel must be rinsed off.

Why does baby eczema occur?

1. Direct cause: The 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 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 agents, 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. There is a special type of pediatric eczema that often occurs around the child's anus and is often accompanied by pinworm infection, called pinworm eczema.

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.
