The key to managing recurring eczema in babies lies in combining daily care with scientific management. Parents are advised to focus on skin moisturizing, avoiding irritants, and using medication appropriately to help relieve their baby's discomfort.
1. Strengthen skin hydration: Apply a gentle baby lotion to your baby several times a day, especially after bathing, to help repair the skin barrier and reduce itching caused by dryness.
2. Avoid external irritants: Dress your baby in loose, soft cotton clothing, keep the environment cool, and avoid overheating and sweating. Use fragrance-free detergents when washing clothes to reduce contact with chemicals.
3. Handle itching with care: Trim your baby's nails frequently, and if necessary, wear cotton gloves to prevent scratching and skin damage. If the eczema is oozing or red and swollen, consult a doctor promptly.
4. Use medication as prescribed: If the eczema is severe, the doctor may recommend using a medicated cream. Parents should use it according to the instructions and avoid increasing or decreasing the dosage on their own or using it for a long period of time.
Pay close attention to your baby's diet and environment, and record any factors that may worsen eczema. If the condition persists or worsens, please seek medical attention promptly and adjust the care plan under professional guidance to help your baby smoothly navigate through recurring periods.
