Patient's question:
My baby has had eczema ever since coming out of the hospital. The doctor said it's too young to use medication, so I can only pay more attention to the child's skin hygiene and the like, but it's still not working. I want to try the Dichen Oil that the older child used before. Is it okay to use it on such a young baby?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the causes of infantile eczema are very complex. It is recommended to keep the baby's skin clean and dry, avoid contact with allergens, and use warm compresses for relief. Diechen oil does not have a significant effect on eczema. Infant eczema cream and talcum powder can be used for treatment. Breastfeeding means the mother should eat less fish, shrimp, beef and mutton, eggs, and other allergenic foods. Pay attention to care and avoid using hot water to bathe infants with eczema. Generally, good care will gradually improve the condition. If the condition is more severe, medication should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.
