What to do if your baby has ear eczema? What causes baby eczema?

I don't know why, but my baby's ears have eczema. What should I do? My baby cries so hard that it makes me feel distressed. Is there any way to solve this problem? What causes eczema in babies?

For baby ear eczema, you can give your baby some medicine, or keep the ears clean and dry, and then improve the symptoms of ear eczema through diet. When a baby suffers from ear eczema, he may feel pain in the ear. Parents should prevent the child from scratching with his hands, which will cause another bacterial infection. After suffering from ear eczema, you should pay attention to improving the baby's diet, give the baby some more nourishing and light diet, change the baby's physical constitution through diet therapy, and expel moisture from the baby's body. In terms of baby clothes, you should also pay attention to choosing some loose and comfortable cotton and linen clothes.

Eczema in infants can be caused by a variety of reasons. Because the infant’s own immune system has not yet been fully established, it is easy for the infant to have a pathological reaction due to adverse external stimuli.

When the skin is stimulated by milk stains, sweat, etc., it is easy to cause local inflammatory lesions on the skin, which can manifest as local erythema or local papules, accompanied by symptoms of itching and discomfort.

It is recommended that babies be breastfed as much as possible, because breast milk contains a variety of antibodies that can help babies improve their body's immunity and reduce the occurrence of adverse symptoms such as eczema. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to skin cleanliness and hygiene, wear well-breathable cotton underwear, and reduce the adverse stimulation of external factors.

For baby eczema, patients are advised to go to a regular hospital for treatment and take medicine under the guidance of a doctor. Topical drugs need to be selected according to different skin lesions. In the acute stage, when exudation is obvious, boric acid solution can be used for wet compresses, and topical ointment can be used for treatment after the exudation decreases. In the subacute stage, if the exudation is relatively small, zinc oxide oil can be used for treatment. In the chronic stage, erythema and papules are the main symptoms, and weak hormone ointments can be used for treatment, or hormone-free drugs such as tacrolimus can be used for treatment. In addition, topical moisturizers can relieve dry skin and repair the skin barrier, and long-term use is recommended. During treatment, parents need to find environmental factors that aggravate the condition, such as scratching, irritating food, and baby's clothes. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid eating irritating foods. If the child can already eat by himself, the child's food should also be light and easily digestible, and avoid eating irritating foods. The baby's clothes should be pure cotton and light-colored clothes. Be careful not to make the clothes too thick to avoid discomfort caused by excessive sweating. You can appropriately reduce the number of times you take a bath and use soap and shower gel to avoid excessive removal of the sebum film.

Children with eczema are characterized by recurring attacks. Generally, eczema will gradually improve with age. Most children will have eczema relieved when they are about one and a half to two years old. When eczema recurs, skin care should be strengthened, and moisturizers should be applied several times a day. Silicone cream or urea ointment are generally used. If the child's rash is more serious, topical hormones can be added for treatment. Dexamethasone ointment is generally used. However, it is recommended to use weak or medium-effective topical hormones, and avoid using strong hormones for treatment. As the rash is alleviated, the dosage of hormones should be gradually reduced. During the period when children's eczema recurs, cotton and breathable clothing should be worn to prevent children from scratching and causing skin infections. However, if the rash is severe, it is recommended to visit a dermatologist and follow up regularly to observe changes in the rash.
