How can baby eczema be prevented?
Thanks for the invitation. The prevention of any disease must find the cause! But eczema due to the cause and its complexity, both may have internal causes such as mental stress, fatigue, emotional changes, endocrine disorders and so on related, but also may be related to the external environment such as the air, pollen, dryness, food and so on. Therefore, for baby eczema, paying attention to every bit of life is very important for eczema prevention. My little grandson has severe eczema. Combined with my daughter's experience of conditioning my little grandson, I would like to make the following suggestions:
1 Allergen Avoidance: This is probably the most challenging task! Food selection occupies an extremely important part in this regard. Sensitive foods must be identified and eliminated. To start, corn, gluten, soy and animal milk must be abstained from at the same time, using dishes sautéed or steamed in olive or coconut oil, staple foods mainly rice, millet, buckwheat, quinoa, gluten-free oats, and for dairy products you can use yogurt, and with a diet like this for 3 consecutive weeks, this completes the first step.
The second step is to start experimenting with one of the four food groups if you quit eating them, eat them at least twice a day for two days, stop eating them on the third day, observe whether there is any eczema reaction, and once you find it, take the food out of your diet for at least half a year. In this way, we can slowly add foods that may cause allergies. In this way, it usually takes 3-6 months to gradually find out which foods are easy to be allergic to;
2. Supplement with organic vegetables and fruits: Special emphasis is placed on consuming organic vegetables and fruits whenever possible, as many children with eczema may also be allergic to artificially added ingredients. Organic vegetables and fruits are rich in antioxidants and healthful phytochemicals that regulate the body's immune system and reduce the likelihood of eczema flare-ups;
3 Low-sugar foods: High-sugar foods lead to a state of chronic inflammation in the body and compromise the immune system. Triggers eczema;
4 Consume good fats: margarine, hydrogenated vegetable oils, and foods containing various trans fatty acids need to be avoided.
It should be noted that food is the most important aspect of eczema prevention. However, the details of daily life must also be paid attention to. For example, pollen, polluted home decorating materials, etc.. Some children are even allergic to oil fumes, and these conditions need to be detected with great care, which is fundamental to the prevention of eczema.
In short, the prevention of eczema does not lie in the doctor, but in the mother's careful attention to the details of her child's life, and if she fails to do this, all is in vain. In this sense, the mother is the best doctor for the child's eczema. Welcome to my headline-Jiangsu Provincial Cancer Hospital Li Feng.

Gosh, I'm so vocal on this one, my peach has terrible eczema, it's gotten much better lately, let me tell you how to prevent it [bares teeth]

These are the methods I use to care for my peaches, so I hope this helps!
Infantile eczema and atopic dermatitis are related to many factors, such as genetic factors, immune dysfunction, environmental factors, and defects in the skin's barrier function that cause water loss and susceptibility to bacterial infections. To keep eczema from recurring, here are a few things you must do:
01Avoid allergens
When a child has a skin reaction immediately after eating a certain food, the condition is usually a food allergy.
For food-induced eczema, it is best to find and avoid the allergens. For example, children allergic to cow's milk protein should be switched to amino acid formulas or deeply hydrolyzed protein formulas.
Breastfeeding, the mother should not eat spicy, hot, fish, beef and mutton and other hairy food; children avoid adding shrimp, crab, fish and other allergy-prone food.
02 Reduce skin irritation
Baby's skin is delicate, improper care of the skin caused by irritation is also an important factor in causing eczema, saliva and overflow often stimulate, improper choice of clothes, the use of chemical toiletries, etc. will stimulate the skin long eczema.
So try to avoid skin irritation and friction, timely cleaning to keep the baby's skin clean and fresh, choose a mild toiletries or water wash, clothing should be loose, not too thick, wear cotton clothing, avoid contact with woolen, chemical fiber clothing.
03 Focus on moisturizing, moisturizing, moisturizing your skin
Moisturizing = half the battle against eczema.
Moisturizing is accomplished in two main steps:
1、Wash
2. Apply moisturizer
Bathing is great for your child's eczema recovery. In summer, 30 degrees or so is sufficient, and in winter, 36 degrees can be adjusted upwards as appropriate. Eczema children's skin is very dry, daily water bath is OK, as long as you can apply moisturizing cream immediately after the bath, if there is an external medicine, immediately after the bath is also very effective.
04Maintaining the right temperature
Heat and sweating are big eczema no-nos.
So it's important to be aware of these points in your life:
Clothing selection
Make sure you don't cover your clothes, choose thin and breathable ones, such as cotton. Avoid wool, such as wool fiber surface is barbed. Avoid chemical fiber, does not absorb sweat and breathable is not conducive to heat dissipation. Fabrics containing hemp silk fabrics are also not recommended.
Air conditioners and humidifiers
Air conditioning is sufficient to maintain the temperature at 24-25°C in summer and 21-22°C in winter.
General air conditioning will automatically dehumidify, so if you use air conditioning, it is best to add a humidifier, so that the room humidity is maintained at 50% is appropriate. Humidifier should pay particular attention to cleaning, it is best to clean every day, otherwise the accumulation of bacteria and fungi, and then blown into the room, it is not worth it.
sunburn protection
Try to schedule your outdoor time in the mornings during the hot season when temperatures are relatively cool. Regardless of the time of day, though, prolonged exposure is not advisable.
Babies need to wear sunscreen when they go out, with an SPF of no less than 15. For kids, we recommend big-name, baby-friendly sunscreens that are approved by dermatologists.
05 Probiotics
Defective skin barrier function and immune dysfunction are important causes of recurrent eczema in infants and children.
Probiotics can enhance the barrier function and immune effect, foreign bacteria, allergic substances can not invade the skin, effectively preventing eczema recurrence.
Prevent eczema by moisturizing and preventing allergies.
1. Moisturizing
Moisturizing sounds easy, but it's not. Even many parents may be in the "moisturizing" this thing to the baby help, especially bath wash is not right. Then how to do it?
Water temperature control at 28-32 degrees
The optimum length is no more than 10 minutes and the optimum water temperature is around 28-32°C (the water feels warm but not hot when measured against the skin of your elbow). If it's cold, then turn the heating on, there's no need to raise the water temperature.
Bathe with water.
Don't bathe your baby with body lotion, soap, or bubble bath; water is enough. Otherwise, it is easy to wash away the protective film (sebum) of the baby's skin. Of course, if you go out to play dirty, occasional use of shower gel is not a big problem, wash and rinse off.
emollient
After the bath, apply moisturizer all over your baby's body right away while the skin is still wet. There is no limit to the number of times you can apply moisturizer. If it dries out in three hours, you'll replenish it once every three hours; if it dries out in six hours, you'll replenish it once every six hours; and if it dries out in ten minutes, you're using a product that's too thin.
2. Anti-allergy
Many babies develop eczema because of repeated exposure to allergenic substances. For babies who are prone to allergies, mothers should minimize the irritating substances around them. If you really have no choice, you can also go to the hospital for allergen testing.
Some foods are allergens, such as milk, eggs, peanuts, etc. If your baby does have a strong allergy to a certain food, then don't eat such food for a while. But don't drastically change your child's diet or stop important foods without a basis.
Food allergies are not the main or only factor, there are many common hidden killers that can trigger eczema, for example:
The biggest airborne enemy of eczema is smoking. Even third-hand smoke (e.g., the smell of smoke in the room and on clothes) can make your child's eczema less likely to clear up.
Avoid wool or coarse fabrics from touching your baby's skin, such as wool clothing and cotton and linen carpets. Animal dander and hair can also be harmful to allergy-prone babies, and if you have pets at home, make sure you clean them well.
Wash your hands regularly + cut your nails. Adults have a lot of germs on their hands, so it's a good idea to wash your hands before holding your child. You should also cut your child's nails regularly to avoid scratching the skin and causing infections.
There are many causes of baby eczema, the most important thing on prevention is to do a good job of moisturizing, parents can choose the baby's emollient moisturizing products:Hypoallergenic creams and pastesThe emollient products are more moisturizing and the moisture is less likely to evaporate.
Do not choose products in the form of dews and lotions, as they have a lot of water and evaporate quickly, and cannot moisturize the skin for a long time. Pay attention to moisturizing productsUse it more often,Use enough.It is the only way to achieve moisturizing effect.
Reducing exposure to allergens can also help your child avoid eczema. You can do this on a daily basis:
- Reduce clothing irritation by choosingComfortable, breathable and loose-fittingcotton
- Clean and sanitize your home on a daily basis, change and wash your pillowcases and bed sheets on a regular basis.sterilizeToys (especially with pets and plants)
- To clean your baby's skin, use plenty of water and choose gentle, fragrance-free scrubs for babies.
- If your baby has severe allergies, take him/her for allergen testing if necessary.
How should eczema be prevented?
The answer is damp proofing
Let's take an example ah, you put a watermelon into a humid environment for three days this watermelon is bad, seven days can be moldy. But if you put it in a dry and ventilated place? The last certainly will be bad, but three days should certainly not bad.
This indicates that humid environments tend to deteriorate items.

Of course, people will not mold, the solid eczema should be a manifestation of humidity caused by mold.
Humid environments predispose people to eczema
Humid environment refers to the external environment on the one hand, and the internal environment on the other.
The external environment, if you live in a damp and dark place or work in such a place, such an environment is very easy for people to suffer from eczema, a small disease. Nowadays, people's lives are improving, so there are very few people living in such a place, but due to work constraints, there are not a few such people.
The internal environment, as it is called, is the factors within the body that cause eczema.

Why is the internal environment of the human body humid now?
Very simple ah, is because of eating, summer is to eat cold drinks ah, ice cream, popsicles, beer and other cold and wet drinks, these cold things into the body, because the nature of these foods is cold, so the body's instinctive protective response to these cold and wet outside the body, one from the skin to exclude these cold and wet, which is the formation of eczema, and the second is to exclude the body from the stool, which will be the appearance of a stomach ache or not! The stomach may or may not hurt, but the stools are loose and diarrhea occurs.
How can we prevent it?
If you leave the humid environment, the disease can be cured.

For example, if the eczema is caused by your work or living environment, then you can only change your environment. Just ventilate and you'll be fine in no time.
Because the diet caused, then it is simple, avoid eating ah, do not eat these cold diet, in the use of some drugs, eczema will soon be good.
I also have an article on pediatric eczema, here's the URL

No more vernacular, feel free to like and add to it
Generally the baby's body temperature is higher than that of adults, the baby's clothes less, try to wear loose clothes, cotton clothes, can not use the adult's standard of dress to measure the baby, in addition to the baby mother in the breastfeeding period to eat less sour and spicy and other stimulating food. Especially in the summer time, to keep the baby's body dry, keep the space where the baby is ventilated.
Well this problem ten years ago my big baby eczema is very serious, probably lasted several months, that time is summer I gave him two baths a day, but also used a lot of rural old man said the local methods, or nothing can be done. Later, I went to the drugstore and bought eczema medicine and rubbed it on him, and he was much better. After the second baby was born, I put body lotion on her after the bath, and she didn't have eczema. My experience is that children must be moisturized and dry. It is not advisable to keep the body too warm and too thick, which will cause the child to sweat and easily produce eczema.
My baby to winter is particularly easy eczema, the weather is too dry, used a lot of creams are not, moisturizing and nourishing effect is not enough, and finally planted the grass Wo baby Square baby wet itch cream, moisturizing effect is really good, every morning and evening to wipe, the little face white and tender, every time I see can not help but kiss a mouth!
If you want to prevent it, just don't heat up the baby. Don't take baths that are too hot, don't wear clothes that are too thick, and don't eat anything that is too hot for the mother if she is breastfeeding.
If you still have eczema, you can use either of the two ointments below (but you can't mix them together haha), choose one, take a cotton swab and apply it to the eczema part, don't use your hands haha. These are the ones recommended by my pediatrician and I bought them both. I haven't used up the blue one yet and it cleared up after 2 days. I've been using the blue one for two days now!
