8-month-old baby has red bumps on their back

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
In the recent few days, while taking showers, I noticed many red bumps appearing on my back. When the water dried, the bumps faded slightly. They get severe when they come into contact with water.

Doctor's answer:

Eczema is a manifestation of an infant's allergic constitution, commonly seen in artificially fed infants. The onset of infantile eczema is mostly related to poor gastrointestinal digestive capacity in infants. As they grow older, their gastrointestinal function gradually improves, digestive ability strengthens, and their diet becomes more diverse. Most cases of infantile eczema gradually heal after the age of one and do not recur.
For children prone to eczema, the treatment involves using anti-allergic creams, which contain a certain amount of hormones and should not be used long-term. Additionally, there is currently no effective treatment for this condition. Daily care should be taken to avoid excessive clothing and opt for cotton garments instead. When bathing or washing the face, use lukewarm water and avoid using soaps. If the eczema is severe, applying some eczema cream can help.
