Why do babies get eczema
summary
My cousin just gave birth to a child, but now she is not full moon, but she finds a lot of eczema on her buttocks, which makes her family worried. The red eczema has a great impact on the child's skin. The doctor prescribed some ointment for special treatment. Now eczema is much better. Let's talk about why babies are prone to eczema!
Why do babies get eczema
Reason 1: infants suffering from eczema are generally due to skin sensitivity. Infant eczema is not an allergic reaction to certain substances, but it may be induced by allergens in the environment or diet of the baby. If your baby is still breastfeeding, allergens in the diet of the mother may also induce infant eczema. High temperature, skin irritants (such as wool, some soaps, lotions, chemicals in detergents), temperature changes, and dry skin can also aggravate eczema.
Reason 2: for some children, some foods that can cause allergies may cause infant eczema or aggravate the disease. If you or your doctor suspect that your baby's eczema is affected by certain foods (the foods most likely to cause eczema are milk, eggs, then soybeans, wheat, peanuts and fish), you can try not to give these foods to your baby who has already started to eat complementary foods. For breast fed babies, mothers can't eat these foods.
Reason 3: however, although food may be a predisposing factor in 30% of children with infantile eczema, only 10% of children with infantile eczema are mainly caused by food. Therefore, you still need to pay attention to other reasons, such as whether skin care is applied to stimulate the baby's skin oil, etc. the baby's skin is delicate, so we must take good care of it.
matters needing attention
We need to remind the mothers that the baby can only drink milk after one year old, but if he is prone to eczema, you may have to wait until the baby is a little older to drink milk or eat other food that may cause allergy. You should help the baby take a bath and clean the skin every day. In this way, it is not easy to suffer from skin eczema.
