Patient's question:
The baby has been over a month old recently, and there are always small bumps on the buttocks and other places, like mosquito bites. The medicine was applied, and it got better, but it keeps coming back occasionally.Doctor's answer:
It should be infantile eczema, which is a common skin condition in infants and is associated with atopic diseases (also known as allergic diseases). The exact cause is sometimes difficult to identify. Topical corticosteroid preparations, such as eczema cream, soothing oil, and hydrocortisone cream, are used. When caring for an infant with eczema, pay attention to the following points:1. Prevent irritating substances from coming into contact with the skin. Do not use alkaline soap to wash the affected area, nor use excessively hot water. Avoid applying cosmetics or any oils.
2. The room temperature should not be too high, as this may worsen the itching sensation. Wear loose-fitting clothing made of 100% cotton.
