You should apply some eczema ointment or some lotion for treating eczema. Don't cover the baby too hot. The baby should wear pure cotton and breathable clothes. Covering the body tightly and not breathable will aggravate the eczema. Secondly, eczema is prone to recurrence, which will make the baby feel itchy and irritable. At this time, parents should cut the baby's nails short to prevent the baby from scratching his skin and causing skin infection. Don't use too hot water when bathing the baby, just use warm water. It is best not to use shower gel. Keep the baby's skin dry after bathing. Another point is that the medicine for eczema applied to the baby should be hormone-free, otherwise the baby's eczema will relapse after stopping the medicine, or even worse. Long-term use may leave residues on the skin and cause damage to the skin, so parents should choose hormone-free products for the baby, and it is best to use the medicine according to the doctor's instructions.

It is not recommended to apply aloe vera gel to infant eczema, because infant eczema is mainly caused by allergic constitution, eating or contacting allergens, which leads to symptoms of rash, blisters, and papules on the skin.

Therefore, for infant eczema, it is mainly through diet to avoid foods that are prone to allergies, and at the same time, special eczema ointments and moisturizing lotions are given for treatment. Try not to use aloe vera gel, which may aggravate the clinical symptoms. Therefore, the choice of medicine for infant eczema must be guided by a specialist.
