What is baby eczema

  Infantile eczema is an eczema-like skin condition that occurs during infancy (<1 week of age).  The majority of infantile eczema develops after 2 months of age, most often on the cheeks, with pronounced itching, often forming vesicles, oozing and crusting due to friction and scratching. There are two categories according to the pathogenesis: 1. common infantile eczema; 2. atopic dermatitis (AD) of infancy. Children are prone to eczema because their skin is thinner, only one-third that of adults, and more difficult to resist external stimuli, and some may be allergic to milk, etc. Dietary stimuli cause recurrent eczema, and most families with babies are prone to overheating, and do not pay attention to protect the skin, are prone to aggravate eczema. These are easily controlled with topical eczema creams and enhanced moisturization. A part of the children are allergic genes, parents that is allergic rhinitis, asthma and other genetic diseases, compared to the former type of children, more likely to recur. The treatment of infant eczema is based on appropriate medication and improved care. Use topical Denide and Euthyrox creams, adhere to daily emollient creams, keep appropriately cool, take less baths and avoid excessive cleaning. Make a dietary diary to observe the relationship between diet and rash.  Infants with eczema such as when breastfeeding should avoid spicy foods and alcohol for now, and children's clothing should be cotton and loose.
