Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is an allergic inflammatory reaction of the skin to various internal and external factors. The skin is the first organ of infants exposed to the environment, so allergic reactions appear earliest, and they tend to occur in exposed areas such as the head and face. Atopic dermatitis is the starting point of the allergic process, and as the immune system matures and exposure to atopic allergens continues, the chances of developing asthma and allergic rhinitis are very high as the child grows up, and early and effective skin treatment of atopic dermatitis can slow or stop the “allergic process. The disease tends to resolve gradually as the child adjusts to the environment. However, if there is a family history of allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and asthma, the child may have an atopic body type and the disease is likely to persist and recur into adulthood or beyond. Because the disease is a recurrent allergic disease and the starting point of the allergic process, it is particularly important to prevent allergic substances from entering the body from the skin, mouth and nose: Washing: Clean the skin every day, bathing with 36 ℃ warm water is good, it is very important to remove sweat, allergens and microorganisms. Minimize the use of skin cleansers, and topical medications and moisturizing emollients need to be applied immediately after the bath to repair the skin. Dry skin is the main clinical manifestation of the child, especially in winter. Dry skin is the main manifestation of a damaged skin barrier, which can lead to various allergens entering the skin, resulting in allergies, so it is especially important to use moisturizing emollients to relieve dry skin, which is a very important measure to solve recurrent eczema. However, children should be careful with various “fragrances” and “creams” because these skin care products may contain various fragrances and preservatives. If the child is allergic to the ingredients, the use of the product may lead to an aggravation of the allergic reaction. At present, there are many clinically proven medical skin care products developed specifically for children with allergies, such as Avène, Skin Care, Fisica, and Spar, etc. available for patients. Eat: Feed reasonably to avoid gastrointestinal dysfunction. Be cautious with milk, eggs, beef and mutton, seafood, beans and other high-protein substances, add supplementary food should start with a small amount, gradually increase the variety, and always observe whether the child has skin and gastrointestinal reactions, if the consumption of aggravated then avoid food, if no obvious reaction, then no harm. Allergen screening can be done if necessary, but the results should be interpreted correctly to avoid excessive dietary avoidance, which can lead to malnutrition. Milk should be specifically mentioned here because it is one of the major allergens in infancy and breastfeeding should be used as much as possible during infancy for 6 months to avoid premature exposure to common milk proteins. When feeding milk, direct contact between milk stains and skin should be avoided. When breast milk is insufficient, if the parents are allergic, the child is recommended to apply moderately hydrolyzed milk powder, and if the infant is allergic to milk protein, amino acid formula nutritional powder or deeply hydrolyzed infant formula can be used instead of regular milk powder. Wear: Clothing should be loose, fine and soft, colorless cotton fabric is preferred, such as old clothes is best. Do not use wool or chemical fiber clothing, and should not wear too much clothing, so as not to sweat after sweating to stimulate the skin aggravate the disease. The actual eczema is obviously seasonal, and is aggravated in autumn and winter, and can be relieved in summer. In winter, the skin of the affected children is dry and sensitive. To avoid house dust mite inhalation, it is recommended to clean the room with a wet mop and rag; to maintain indoor humidity, a humidifier should be used if necessary; in areas heated by a fire bed, it is recommended that the affected child sleeps on the side away from the hottest. Modern housing is very luxuriously decorated and decorated with flowers, but I do not know that children with the disease should not be in this environment, because paint, formaldehyde, pollen and house dust can cause eczema, and when it is unavoidable, it is more important to open windows often to circulate air. Families with affected children are not advised to keep pets. Cure: Topical glucocorticoids are still the first line of treatment and control for all stages of eczema (atopic dermatitis). Avoiding hormone phobia is as important as hormone abuse, and it is safe to use hormones under the guidance of a dermatologist. Prophylactic injection: Children with more severe eczema are not suitable for prophylactic vaccination for the time being, and it is recommended to perform prophylactic injection during the remission period. Contraindications: Avoid contact with people with herpes simplex to avoid Kaposi’s varicella-like rash. The treatment of eczema (atopic dermatitis) is not possible to pursue a one-time cure.
