What to do about chicken skin in children

Chicken skin in children, also called keratosis pilaris, can be treated with topical applications and internal medications as prescribed by the doctor. Keratosis pilaris is usually associated with heredity, external environmental stimuli, skin metabolic disorders and vitamin A deficiency. 1. Topical application: For the treatment of this disease, topical ointment is usually chosen. Compound cod liver oil, zinc oxide ointment, urea ointment, etc. can be used to soften or dissolve the keratin and improve the symptoms, and moisturizer can be used to take care of the skin in daily life. 2. Internal medicine: It is recommended to take vitamin A and vitamin E under the guidance of a doctor to regulate the abnormal skin keratinization and promote the shedding of keratin. You can also follow the doctor’s instructions to use antihistamines and other anti-allergy drugs to relieve itching, such as loratadine, levocetirizine hydrochloride and so on. Parents need to take their children to the doctor in time, under the guidance of the doctor to use the correct medication, to avoid delaying the condition and causing adverse consequences.
