What is the situation when the child's face turns red and cracks after using moisturizer?

Patient's question:

The child used Pampers' moisturizing cream and developed redness and cracking on the face. Then, they switched to Bear's Oat Nourishing Cream, but the redness still persisted and seemed even worse. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, the baby's skin has again shown symptoms of redness, and it is highly likely to be eczema. It is recommended that you apply hydrocortisone cream externally to the affected area, pay attention to moisturizing the skin, and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables daily. Avoid spicy foods to prevent irritation. The room's air should be freshened. It is advised that you first discontinue all skincare products for the baby. You can buy a bottle of boric acid solution from a local pharmacy to apply wet compresses, and then apply hydrocortisone cream externally. Wash your face with cold water.
