Eczema is the most common skin condition in infants. I’m afraid the most common question pediatricians are asked by parents in parenting classes is how to deal with infant eczema. Eczema is like a stubborn enemy, once it appears, it will repeatedly harass the baby, making the baby itchy and seriously affect the baby’s sleep and growth and development. Watching your baby scratch out a blood scab with his or her own hands can be very distressing and stressful for new mothers. Is eczema really that annoying? In fact, eczema is just a common disease in the infant stage, no matter how serious it is, as the baby grows older each day, it will disappear without a trace as if it had evaporated. Therefore, young mothers do not have to be anxious and pessimistic, to believe that the vast majority of infant eczema can be cured, only a very small number will continue into adulthood. The treatment of eczema: for mild cases only dry skin damage can choose some non-irritating emollient moisturizer, such as Umetekin children’s cream, silicone cream, etc. can be used topically; with emollient moisturizer can not improve the symptoms of skin lesions continue to aggravate, can choose weak corticosteroid ointment used topically; for large lesions, oozing vesicles thick scabs of severe children can be used to clear heat detoxification astringent herbal solution bath or wet compresses to dry, after removing the scabs. Add corticosteroids and topical antibiotic ointment to quickly relieve the symptoms. Corticosteroids are a drug that parents are afraid of, but in the current treatment of moderate to severe infant eczema, corticosteroid ointment is the main topical drug, as long as the selective, intermittent application under the guidance of a specialist is safe. Note that corticosteroid ointment can be stopped when the lesions disappear, but the application of emollient moisturizers should not be interrupted. Consistent application of emollient moisturizers can improve the skin barrier function, reduce the amount of corticosteroid ointment, and reduce recurrence. When itching seriously affects the child’s sleep, the child can be given oral antihistamines that help him/her sleep. By following the above treatment principles, the symptoms of infantile eczema can mostly be controlled without the need for oral or injectable corticosteroids.
