Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.
Although the epidemic has not yet faded, in the face of a good season of flower viewing and traveling, it is also facing a problem----- the high incidence of skin allergies.
Especially for children, the climate temperature difference is large, the willows flutter, dust mites, pollen, insects and sunlight, etc., may make the skin light up red every minute.
As parents, we need to be more vigilant at this time.
Which skin diseases are most likely to become infected in the spring?
First, simple pityriasis
Spring is windy, the air is dry, and the intensity of sunshine is gradually increasing. Children who spend a long time outdoors can easily lose moisture on the surface of the skin, resulting in dry skin or loss of vitamins, which can cause pityriasis simplex.
It is mainly manifested by a patchy rash on the face and orbit of the child, and in severe cases, it will form a yellowish, fine yellowish scale on top of the rash.
Care:
Avoid prolonged wind and sun exposure to your child, and apply 50% of the concentration of glycerin to moisturize the affected area to reduce water distribution. At the same time, strengthen the child's vitamin supplementation, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
Second, pediatric eczema
Eczema is one of the most common allergic skin diseases in young children in the spring.
The onset of eczema in children is mostly related to skin irritation and may occur on the skin in any part of the body. Its manifestations are mainly erythema, blisters, and crumb mounds, and in severe cases, there will be oozing.
And eczema has a strong itching and recurrent, once the child does not pay attention to scratch the affected area, it is easy to cause a larger area of infection.
Care:
In the spring, children's intimate clothing and bedding are best selected with cotton materials to avoid the use of chemical fiber products and reduce external irritation to the skin.
At the same time, the diet should be avoided, and you should not eat seafood, shiitake mushrooms, milk (milk powder) and other foods, so as not to induce eczema or aggravate the degree of eczema.
Third, the skin is dry and itchy
The spring climate is dry, and the sebaceous glands of children are not strong enough, which is easy to cause skin moisture loss and dry itching. The child is unbearable, and will frequently scratch the affected area, causing the skin to shed dandruff, further aggravating the symptoms.
Care:
Change and wash your child's intimate clothes frequently, keep them dry and clean, and avoid bacterial infections. Pay attention to the moisturizing of your child's skin, and after each bath, apply more mild body lotion to your child to prevent dry skin.
Usually, we should also urge children to drink more water and replenish the lost water in time.
Fourth, angular cheilitis
If the child's body is deficient in vitamins, and there is a habit of loving to eat hands and lick lips, it is easy to have angular inflammation in the spring. Angular cheilitis can make the child feel that the lips are dry and tight, and they always want to use their tongue to lick or grin to relieve it.
It is manifested by the development of dry cracking skin symptoms around the upper and lower lip as the center, which is often referred to as "sheep's beard".
Method of care:
Parents should correct the bad habit of licking their children's mouths and eating their fingers, and give their children more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins. When your child's lips are chapped, lip balm can be applied to protect them from further development.
Fifth, seborrheic dermatitis
In the spring, children are prone to seborrheic dermatitis. It is characterized by a layer of greasy scales on the scalp, often accompanied by scabs, and a pronounced itching sensation.
Method of care:
The affected area can be applied with glycerin, softening the scab, gently combing it with a comb, then washing it, and then applying sulfur ointment to the child.
In summary, spring is the high incidence of children's skin diseases, mothers should pay attention to it, and actively do a good job in nursing and prevention.
At the same time, we should also pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the room, frequent disinfection, and more ventilation, provide a safe and healthy living environment for children, reduce the risk of children being disturbed by viruses and bacteria, and prevent the occurrence of skin diseases.
For children who are allergic to the constitution themselves, it is more necessary to pay more attention to appropriately reducing going out, especially in the wild, avoiding contact with allergens such as pollen, and avoiding the good interest of enjoying spring damaged by allergies.
