Newborn Eczema

Neonatal eczema, commonly known as ringworm of milk, is a common allergic skin inflammation caused by internal and external factors. The etiology is complex and related to a variety of internal and external factors, and it is often difficult to determine the specific cause of the disease. Babies with eczema have varying degrees of severity. The rash is more common on the head and face, and gradually spreads to the neck, shoulders, trunk, and limbs. The onset time of most babies with eczema is usually when they are 1 to 3 months old.

Neonatal eczema is an allergic reaction of atopic constitution to certain factors in the environment. The cause of neonatal eczema has not yet been definitively stated, but it is mostly believed to be related to genetic and immune abnormalities. Babies with this disease are usually accompanied by other allergic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis, asthmatic bronchitis, urticaria and other diseases.

There are many causes of eczema, which can be divided into:

1. The direct cause

It is difficult to say clearly what causes neonatal eczema, but allergic factors account for the vast majority of them, so babies with a family history of allergies are prone to eczema.

2. Predisposing factors

If newborns already suffer from eczema, if they do not pay attention, it will induce or aggravate the symptoms of eczema, such as food, chemicals, wool products, plants, high ambient temperature or wearing too warm or cold, etc., will stimulate the development of newborn eczema. Repeated or aggravated. There is a specific type of pediatric eczema that occurs around a child's anus and is often accompanied by a pinworm infection, called pinworm eczema.

3. The internal cause of infant eczema

Babies are prone to eczema because of their own factors, because the cuticle of the baby's skin is relatively thin, the capillary network is rich, and the endothelium contains more water and chloride, and it is more sensitive to various stimuli, so it is also called baby eczema. Pediatric eczema itself is not caused by moisture, but moisture can make eczema worse. The rash will become more noticeable after bathing or sweating. The first time parents pay attention to it is often after bathing, so the reason is attributed to moisture factors such as not drying the body after bathing.

The treatment of eczema is not to test out allergens from countless substances to avoid them, but to improve the baby's gastrointestinal system. And now it is not advocated in medicine to prevent the baby from getting the proper nutrition in order to avoid allergies. Therefore, you can usually eat some beneficial bacteria to improve the baby's gastrointestinal system. When the baby's gastrointestinal system tends to be perfect, the eczema will improve.
