Many parents of atopic dermatitis have misconceptions about avoiding food, blindly avoiding food leads to delayed growth and development of the child, as well as avoiding food after the child’s immune system can not be established in a timely manner, which makes the baby’s skin lesions and itching aggravated, leading to a vicious circle. If a mother eats something like crab one day and the baby’s skin lesions worsen, a comprehensive analysis is needed. The aggravation of the baby’s skin lesions may be related to food, but also to other factors such as the environment, temperature, emotions, scratching and so on. If, after a period of time, the next time you eat the food, the lesions do not change much, it is not related to this food (theoretically, the 2nd allergy is more serious than the last), if it is still aggravated, it is definitely an allergy and the mother needs to avoid eating it. Eczema baby breast milk substitution problem If the amount of breast milk is not enough and you need to use milk powder, the baby is small (under 6 months), the specific allergens cannot be detected, and the baby has no system not established, how to do? The best way is food stimulation test, first eat with ordinary milk powder for a period of time (more than half a month), if there is not much change from the previous lesions, it may not be related to milk powder allergy, and not every baby is allergic to milk powder; if it is repeatedly aggravated, it is definitely allergic to ordinary milk powder, it is recommended to take amino acids under 6 months, and deeply hydrolyzed milk powder over half a year old. If the baby is more than half a year old, it is best to test for specific allergens. If the baby is allergic to milk, only deeply hydrolyzed milk powder can be eaten. Allergen testing for babies with eczema The international recommendation for definitive atopic dermatitis is atopic allergen testing (IgE testing), not so-called food intolerance (IgG testing), and not so-called bioresonance, pointing the finger. First of all, specific allergen testing explains that a certain test value can only represent 95% of the people and cannot include 100% of the problems. It should be noted that most people with a positive test are allergic to the food they eat, and a negative test means they are not allergic to the food they eat. However, there are exceptions, you may have a very low test (negative) and also have an allergy. A very high test value (positive) and no allergy. This means that the baby’s test value is not in the normal range of normal human testing. Secondly, the specific allergen test checks for type I allergic reactions, while eczema is a type IV allergic reaction (patch test) and atopic dermatitis is a mixture of type I and type IV. The best way to determine if it is a food allergy is a food provocation test, as in real life situations (except for high sensitivity, which can cause acute shock). Specific allergen test negative, you are still worried, you can start a kind of small dose, gradually and gradually dose, more than 10-15 times in a row, no aggravation, that certainly not allergic, can be safe to eat. If 1 time aggravated, it may be related to it, next time if also aggravated, definitely allergic, if this time is no reaction, that does not allergic. Specific allergen test positive, there are skin lesions may not be able to try, can only be no skin lesions, but also want to eat, can only try from a very small very small dose, very careful to try, increase the dose can not be too fast, the same method as before, if allergic to be determined not to eat, if more than 20 times, are not allergic, should not be a big problem. In addition, if in life, eating a certain food, each time aggravated or skin lesions appear, also indicates that is allergic, need to avoid the mouth. Atopic dermatitis can be cured if the eczema baby avoids eating? If it is a food allergy, the skin lesions will be 40% better after avoiding food, it will not be the case that atopic dermatitis will be gone after avoiding food. If you are allergic to food, you will not stop being allergic in a short period of time, but at least 3-5 years (after the immune system has recovered, you may not be allergic). Do not try it again and again in a short period of time, as this will only stimulate an aggravation of the allergic reaction and affect the health of the baby.
