Question
Why does a child’s lower body itch?
Answer
Itching in children’s lower body may be caused by eczema, a common allergic dermatosis that is non-infectious and of a reactive nature. Treatment with a decoction of rhizoma coptidis for fumigation has been found to be somewhat effective. For a one-year-old baby, constipation may be due to internal heat or insufficient intestinal function, and it may be helpful to try using the pediatric Si Mo Decoction, while also ensuring adequate hydration and abdominal massage.
