Question
Started at 3 months old and now at 8 months, eczema is all over the feet, hands, head, and face. From Wenzhou Second Affiliated Children’s Hospital, what treatment methods are available?
Answer
Try to find and eliminate the cause of the condition. Pay attention to adjusting the diet; adults should avoid spicy and irritating foods. Avoid consuming allergenic items such as alcohol and seafood shellfish; it is better to have a light diet. Try to minimize external adverse stimuli such as scratching, using soap, and hot water scalding. Wear loose, soft clothing and avoid wearing woolen or nylon products. Try applying eczema zinc ointment to the affected areas.
