Patient's question:
Baby got eczema right after birth, it was red and swollen, looking very anxious. How should I handle newborn eczema?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you promptly treat your child's eczema symptoms. If left untreated, it may lead to the spread of inflammation. First, it is essential to maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the affected skin to prevent the child from scratching it. You should also avoid clothing that may cause irritation and opt for soft fabrics. Topical medications suitable for the condition can be applied to the affected area. Alternatively, appropriate medications can be used. If the mother is breastfeeding, her diet should be light and avoid spicy or irritating foods. During the treatment period, the patient should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, actively engage in physical exercise, and focus on regulating physical and mental health to keep personal hygiene intact. This helps prevent bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
