If your baby’s eczema is crusty, it is possible that your baby’s eczema is in the subacute stage or in the chronic stage. If the crusts have just formed, a temporary topical zinc oxide paste can be applied to control the further development of the crusts and to control the original oozing reaction. If the crust is thick, topical application of an appropriate oil, such as cooking oil, can be used to soften the crust and protect the wound. If there is also significant redness and swelling, anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory treatment is needed, such as topical hydrocortisone butyrate cream. Oral antihistamines, such as paracetamol or oral loratadine syrup, can also be taken. It is also necessary to pay attention to protect the cleanliness of the local wound to prevent secondary infection.
