If you want to rank [the most common skin troubles of babies], eczema, prickly heat and mosquito bags are definitely in the top three.
Compared with the seasonal and preventable prickly heat and mosquito bags, eczema is even more headache.
Eczema is easy to repeat. Looking at the baby, itching is unbearable, and skin damage is severe. However, parents are helpless. Care and diet should be carefully and painstakingly carried out.
Today, Clove Mother invited Teacher Ji Lianmei again to talk about the common eczema misunderstanding of parents and see which one has misled you.
Myth One Eczema Can Be Radically Treated
Eva eczema recurs over and over again because there is no radical cure every time.
Almost every day, parents of readers ask me, what kind of specific medicine can cure eczema?
Unfortunately, there is currently no drug that can cure eczema.
The key to avoid the recurrence of eczema lies in nursing. What parents can do is to carefully nurse and rationally use drugs to control the recurrence of eczema, so as to reduce the impact of eczema on the quality of life and growth and development of children.
It is worth looking forward to that more than 50% of children with eczema can heal themselves with age.
There are many causes of eczema, and it is generally believed that there are two main causes:
One is heredity.
For example, there are people suffering from asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema and other allergic diseases in the family.
The second is allergy.
Eczema in babies is often related to immaturity of autoimmune system. Eczema in adults is often related to the imbalance of their immune system. There is no cure for diseases associated with allergy, including eczema, allergic rhinitis, asthma, etc.
Why can’t it be cured? This starts with what allergy is. Allergy refers to the abnormal overreaction of some people’s body to normal external factors under certain circumstances. It is a disease caused by immaturity or imbalance of the body’s defense system, the immune system.
It is impossible for us to treat the disease by destroying the human body’s defense system, and there is no radical cure. The only treatment method we can adopt is to avoid contact with allergens as much as possible, control symptoms by nursing or drugs, and prevent recurrence.
Since there is no complete cure for eczema, parents should be psychologically prepared to fight a protracted war against eczema.
Myth 2 Eczema Babies Must Avoid
Babies also suffer from eczema when drinking breast milk, which must be related to breast milk. It will be good to stop breast milk.
Eggs and milk can lead to eczema. Babies should avoid eating them and kick them out of the recipe.
Eczema is a genetic allergic disease, which is more common in children under 5 years old and is a recurrent disease.
Food allergy is indeed a common problem, but clinical evidence shows that avoiding suspicious allergic foods necessary for the growth and development of these babies cannot effectively prevent and relieve the onset of eczema in infants.
Unless food allergy needs to be considered for severe eczema with widespread onset of the whole body, it is of little significance to find food allergens for mild to moderate eczema.
Although some old people think that eczema will heal after weaning, unless the baby is really intolerant to breast milk (such cases are rare), don’t wean the baby easily. Breast milk is the most suitable and the best food for the baby.
Long eczema does not necessarily affect the growth and development of the baby, but lack of nutrition will definitely affect the growth and development of the baby.
Don’t give your baby taboos easily.
Myth 3: Eczema Nursing Should Keep Dry
Eczema Eczema is caused by being too wet. The skin keeps dry and gets better quickly.
Eczema, as the name implies, many people think that eczema is caused by too wet skin. In fact, on the contrary, eczema skin is very afraid of dryness and needs to be kept moist frequently.
Therefore, moisturizing is the basis of eczema skin care, and doing a good job of moisturizing can get twice the result with half the effort.
Parents should choose dosage forms such as cream and cream instead of dew when choosing skin moisturizing products for their children, because after dew is applied to the skin, water will evaporate quickly and cannot continuously moisturize the skin.
For mild eczema, symptoms can be controlled by using low-sensitivity skin cream to keep skin moist.
For moderate to severe eczema, it is necessary to use medium and weak external hormones while moisturizing. If the skin has lacerations complicated with bacterial or fungal infection, it is also necessary to use anti-bacterial or anti-fungal infection ointment in combination.
Myth 4 Hormones Can’t Be Used for EVA
Although the vast majority of information on eczema treatment on the Internet refuses hormone therapy, clinical experience at home and abroad has proved that for moderate and severe eczema, reasonable selection of external hormone ointment is the first choice of treatment.
If parents listen to Internet rumors, they will delay the treatment of baby’s eczema and drag small areas of eczema that are easy to control into large areas of refractory eczema that are not easy to control.
In fact, the side effects of hormone ointment are exaggerated. Parents are worried that hormone drugs will inhibit children’s growth, which will only occur when long-term large doses of hormone drugs are taken orally or injected.
However, the treatment of eczema does not require oral hormone, let alone hormone injection, but only external hormone ointment. The adverse reactions of long-term use of such drugs are often limited to the skin, manifested as skin thinning or pigmentation.
In addition, even if hormone ointment is not used, skin pigment changes will occur in the skin of eczema during the recovery period. This is the skin color change caused by the disease itself, not necessarily the color spots caused by hormone. Moreover, with the passage of time, these color spots will fade away.
Conclusion
- Although eczema cannot be cured, it can be controlled and healed by itself! The baby has eczema, Anxiously looking for allergens, It has little therapeutic significance, On the contrary, it will increase the burden on the baby. If it is mild, Parents take care of it carefully, Always use low-sensitivity skin cream to keep skin moist, Avoid physical stimuli such as overheated sun exposure and clothing friction, Avoid chemical stimulation of washing and protecting products to control the disease. If the disease is moderate to severe, in addition to the above-mentioned nursing methods, but also listen to the doctor’s words, when using hormone ointment, it is clearly used, so as not to delay treatment. Reasonable use of external hormone ointment will not affect the growth and development of the baby.
It is often said that mother and child are connected, and parents’ anxiety can easily affect the baby and cause mental pressure to the baby.
Mental stress is also one of the causes of eczema, so parents must be calm in the face of eczema and create a pleasant and healthy family atmosphere, which is more conducive to the control of baby eczema.
