Patient's question:
My baby has developed eczema again. She's only a little over a month old, and her eczema keeps recurring, with no improvement in treatment. What should I do about recurrent eczema in newborns?Doctor's answer:
The newborn may experience recurrent episodes of eczema, which could be caused by allergies, or due to a weakened immune system, poor hygiene, or excessive sun exposure. It is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for an allergy source investigation to identify and avoid the allergen. External topical medications can be used to help reduce swelling and relieve pain. The patient should maintain a regular sleep schedule, adhere to treatment, and follow a light diet while engaging in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
