When faced with recurring eczema in babies, parents can help alleviate it by strengthening daily care and adopting scientific management methods. Here are a few steps you can refer to:
1. **Keep skin moisturized:** Apply a gentle baby-specific moisturizing cream to your baby daily, especially after bathing, to help repair the skin barrier and reduce itching caused by dryness.
2. **Avoid Irritants:** Choose soft cotton clothing whenever possible, and avoid direct contact between wool or synthetic materials and skin. Use a baby-specific detergent when washing clothes and rinse thoroughly.
3. **Proper Bathing Care:** Bath water temperature should not be too high, and the bath time should be controlled to around 10 minutes. Use mild bath products. After bathing, gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel to avoid rubbing.
4. **Pay attention to diet and environment:** Some babies' eczema may be related to food or environmental factors. You can try to observe and record, but do not strictly avoid certain foods on your own. Consult a doctor if necessary.
5. **Seek medical attention when necessary:** If the eczema area expands, becomes red and swollen, or oozes, consult a pediatrician or dermatologist promptly, use appropriate medications as directed, and have regular follow-up appointments.
Eczema care requires patience. Maintain daily moisturizing and protection, and avoid arbitrarily changing skincare products or using folk remedies. At the same time, keep the indoor temperature and humidity suitable to help your baby comfortably get through the recovery period.
