What medicine is used for children's skin itching

It is actually very common for children to have itchy skin, but some parents make their children take medicine as soon as they see that their children's skin is uncomfortable. In fact, this is not good. Excessive use of drugs is actually harmful to the body. The best option is to decide whether to use drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

Do infants and young children need medication for itchy skin?

Since skin problems such as dermatitis, eczema, and prickly heat are relatively common in infants and young children, if the symptoms are not very obvious, many mothers often choose to let them heal on their own, believing that this is the safest way, because most parents are highly wary of drugs and are deeply afraid that the drugs will have side effects on their babies. Of course, this "conservative" approach is not advisable. Unless the symptoms are indeed mild and gradually show signs of improvement, it is best to seek timely treatment under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the baby from suffering as soon as possible.

What is the best medicine for itchy skin in infants and young children?

What is the best medicine for baby's itchy skin? Should I choose Chinese medicine or Western medicine? Chinese and Western medicine each have their advantages and disadvantages. Western medicine takes effect quickly and has good therapeutic effects. It has advantages in short-term treatment, but long-term use will cause the skin to become thinner and redder, and blood vessels will be exposed. The skin's immunity will decrease and become sensitive. It will be easily stimulated by external cold and warm temperatures. In addition, there will be pigmentation that makes the skin darker and redder. Children and women in particular should not buy hormone ointments for application casually, and they should not use them for a long time.

Relatively speaking, Chinese herbal ointments for external use are milder, have fewer side effects, and can be used for a longer period of time, but their effects are slower to show. Therefore, the best way is to combine the advantages of both, maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses, and ensure both efficacy and safety.
