Kerosene babies are babies born with shiny skin and a dry, kerosene-like film on the skin of the body, noting that the condition is a relatively rare genetic disorder.
At birth, the baby’s entire body is covered with either a parchment-like membrane or a parchment-like membrane, a tightly wound membrane that restricts the baby’s limbs in specific positions and makes the baby’s skin so stiff that it looks like plasticine to the touch. Because Gumboro is a relatively rare genetic condition, the membrane falls off in large sheets about two to four weeks after birth.
There is no temporary cure for flammable cotton wool babies, but medications such as petroleum jelly and urea ointment can be used to increase the hydration level of the skin and keep the skin moisturized. In the skin with localized infections can be appropriate use of topical antibiotic drugs (such as erythromycin, gentamycin, etc.) can be to a certain extent to control and alleviate the condition.
All of the above drugs should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor to avoid adverse reactions to self-medication.
