Patient's question:
Got eczema, used ointment, it works well with just one application, but it keeps coming back. How can I treat it so it doesn't recur again? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
It can be diagnosed as infantile eczema, which is an allergic skin disease, mostly related to the allergic constitution of the parents. In terms of treatment, oral medication can be taken, and it should be combined with external cleansing solutions to reduce swelling, relieve pain, and apply the dry medication. The yellow skin cream can be applied once and may be a steroid cream, which is not recommended for use. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that infantile eczema is mostly related to spleen deficiency and excessive dampness, and it has quite good effects. If the mother is breastfeeding, she should avoid spicy foods and seafood like shrimp and fish. The baby should be exposed to as little water as possible during the day to avoid worsening the condition.
