1. Is breastfeeding better? Yes. Breastfeed whenever possible. Although there is no evidence that breastfeeding can stop the development of eczema in children. However, for babies within the first few months of life, breastfeeding has a protective effect that reduces the severity of eczema, so breastfeeding should be encouraged. However, it is not advocated to extend breastfeeding to 9 months later. 2.Does the child have to avoid eating? It is now generally accepted that children with eczema do not need special dietary restrictions. Many parents believe that their children’s eczema is caused by what they eat, but regular dietary restrictions are usually ineffective. Parents of children are also generally discouraged from giving soy milk feedings. 3, eczema and sun exposure After sun exposure, eczema will usually ease, especially when going on vacation. When the weather is hotter, children with eczema should wear loose cotton clothing to keep cool. Overheated skin can easily lead to heat rash. It is recommended to prevent sunburn with some appropriate sunscreen products. On hot days, you can let your child wear a loose wet T-shirt to lower skin temperature and reduce itching. 4. Swimming Swimming in the sea is very beneficial to relieve eczema. While in the pool, the chlorine in the water can irritate sensitive skin. Preventive measures:
Before swimming in the pool, apply a thick layer of moisturizer, such as Vaseline, and soak for a while in water with added bath oil after swimming. Younger children with severe eczema are advised not to swim in pools. Children over the age of 4 should be encouraged to learn to swim and actively participate in various sports. 5. Immunization issues Children with eczema should receive all routine immunizations as normal children do, and parents need not have anything to worry about. For children with eczema who have a history of egg allergy, it is safe to receive the measles-mumps-rubella triple vaccine and the measles vaccine. However, these injections should be administered under close supervision at a local hospital. Any of these immunizations may occur a few days after vaccination to make eczema worse, but the incidence is relatively small and not serious.
