Throwing is more than 5 months old, soon after birth, his face constantly grows rash, like to rub his eyes with his hands, after rubbing the eyes often reddened. After seeing a doctor, he said it was eczema and prescribed a topical ointment. The effect was obvious after applying it, but it flared up as soon as it was stopped and could not be cured. I heard that these ointments contain hormones and long-term use is not good for the baby’s skin. Can babies with eczema use this type of ointment regularly? What can I do to keep my baby from getting eczema? Infant eczema, commonly known as ringworm, is a common allergic skin disease in children, often occurring between the ages of 1 month and 1 year, and the causes are mainly related to genetic and environmental factors. On the one hand, if the parents have a history of allergies, the incidence of allergic diseases in their children is very high; on the other hand, it is related to external allergens, mainly food allergies during infancy, such as milk, eggs, sea r, nuts, especially peanuts, chocolate and so on. In addition, the external environment changes, with allergens and air pollution as the main causes. Allergens include pollen, dust, dust mites, animal fur, etc.; air pollution includes second-hand smoke, car exhaust, factory exhaust and other inhalant allergens. Infants with eczema are mainly found on the cheeks, forehead and jaw, but in severe cases, the chest and upper arms can be involved. It tends to recur and is not easily cured in a short r time. When a child has eczema, he or she is often itchy and irritable, crying, and sleep is affected. However, try not to use ointments containing hormones for children because they may work well in a short period of time, but long-term use can easily cause hormonal allergic dermatitis. As children have delicate skin, the absorption of hormones will suppress the immune system because hormones themselves are immunosuppressive. At the same time, topical hormones will cause skin pigmentation and epidermal aging, making pediatric allergies more difficult to treat and will make them sensitive to more and more allergens. In addition, breastfeeding is advocated. Breastfeeding can significantly reduce allergy production, and it has been reported that the prevalence of atopic eczema in milk-fed infants is seven times higher than in breastfed children. This shows that artificially fed infants are prone to allergies. Wipe your face with a clean towel after each feeding. If the infant is breastfed, the mother should try to avoid foods high in protein that can cause allergies such as fish, shrimp and crab. It is recommended not to use soap when washing the face of infants with allergies. Keep the indoor environment clean and wipe furniture with a wet cloth regularly. Diligently Q-wash the sheets, covers and other items used by children. Avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics and other irritants. It is not recommended to keep pets such as cats and dogs in the family. Avoid going to places where flowers are in full bloom, especially do not choose windy weather.
