Question

A two-month-old baby often scratches their face, resulting in noticeable scratches on the face. Parents are concerned whether these scratches will leave scars.

Answer

It is recommended to use water boiled with kuding tea and chrysanthemum flowers to wash the baby’s face, followed by applying hongmi song cream and a dampness-reducing, swelling-relieving, pain-relieving ointment. At the same time, mothers should pay attention to their diet and avoid eating foods that may worsen the baby’s eczema, such as mushrooms, coriander, scallions, garlic, beef and mutton, and seafood. Mothers can take kudzu tablets to remove milk toxicity, which can be used in conjunction with the ointment to help the baby’s eczema recover faster.
