What to do if your baby has eczema on his face

For infants and young children, their skin is very delicate and smooth, but such delicate and smooth skin is easily troubled by some skin diseases. Eczema is the most common skin disease in infants and young children. However, eczema on the faces of infants and young children is generally not very serious, so it will heal itself even without treatment. However, in order for their babies to grow up more healthily, many mothers still want to know what to do if their babies have eczema on their faces.

If you want to solve the problem of eczema on your baby's face, you should first be careful not to apply medicine to your baby randomly. The baby's skin is very fragile. If you apply medicine to your baby randomly, it will not only fail to treat eczema, but may even aggravate the symptoms of eczema. So what should you do specifically?

1. Keep your skin clean. Do not use hot water to wash your baby's face. Use warm water instead. Avoid using strongly alkaline soaps. Do not apply any skin care products after washing the face. Keep your skin clean. If you think that your baby should be bathed less often if he has eczema, you are wrong, because unclean skin will increase the chance of secondary infection. The baby's hair should also be washed every day. If the baby has seborrheic dermatitis, washing the head carefully can remove the scabs. If the scab has hardened and stuck to the head, apply olive oil on the affected area and then wash it after a while.

2. Cut your nails frequently. Cut your baby's nails frequently to prevent them from scratching their skin and causing secondary infection.

3. 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 or even become more serious. Moreover, the residues after long-term use can cause abnormal skin color. 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. It is generally believed that Chinese medicine products contain more complex ingredients and are therefore suitable for older children and adults.

4. Avoid certain foods. Let your baby eat less animal protein, such as milk and eggs, and this must be done under the supervision of a doctor or nutritionist. Fish, shrimp and other irritating foods should be avoided during this period.

Now that we know what to do if your baby has eczema on his face, there are actually some folk remedies for treating infant eczema. For example, wash and chop the potatoes, and then use potato juice to wipe the baby's eczema areas. It is said that this can treat baby eczema, but these methods do not have any scientific basis, so mothers are not recommended to use them.
