Question
My baby has developed eczema again, and she is just over a month old. The eczema keeps recurring and hasn’t been cured. What are some effective treatment methods for neonatal eczema?
Answer
You can use a 1:10000 potassium permanganate solution for wet dressing, which has antibacterial effects. For infants with eczema on the face, it is recommended to introduce complementary foods one to two months later. When giving your baby a bath, use warm water and wash with a non-alkaline cleanser, avoiding scratching the skin. Avoid keeping pets at home, and mothers who are breastfeeding should avoid eating allergenic foods such as milk, eggs, fish, and shrimp. Patients should develop good living habits, maintain regular schedules, quit smoking and drinking, increase daily exercise to boost immunity, and prevent recurrence of the condition.
