What to do if your skin is flooded

Skin flooding may be caused by skin inflammation, especially eczema and papules, which can cause redness, swelling and itching on the patient's skin and require timely treatment. If the skin is slightly red, we can apply talcum powder to relieve itching. If the redness is severe, we need to scrub the body with warm water, then disinfect and sterilize, and finally apply iodine to prevent the wound from being infected again.

[Slight redness of the skin]

If the flooded area only turns red occasionally, it is relatively minor. After scrubbing with warm water, sprinkle some talcum powder on the flooded skin. Wash off the talcum powder with warm water before going to bed every day.

[Severe redness of flooded skin]

If the flooded area often turns red, it is slightly serious. After scrubbing with warm water, crush the drainage soil with your hands and sprinkle it on the soaked skin. Wash it off with warm water before going to bed every day. If you have elderly people at home, many of them know about this kind of soil, you can ask them.

[The skin that was drowned has broken]

If the flooded area has broken skin, it is more serious. Wipe directly with a medical cotton ball soaked in iodine, and then wipe with a dry medical cotton ball. Do not sprinkle talcum powder or soil on the surface of the water channel after disinfection. Wait until the damaged skin epidermis heals properly before treating the problem accordingly.

[Allow flooded skin to ventilate more]

Expose your baby's skin more often during the day, provide plenty of ventilation, and let him bask in the sun if the outside temperature permits. If it is at the base of the ears, don't wear a hat or change to a thinner hat strap.

【Change your bib frequently】

If your baby drools frequently, you should change the bib frequently. Every time you take off a wet bib, wipe the neck with a hot wet towel, dry it in the sun or directly, and then replace it with a dry bib. Don't keep your baby's neck in a wet environment.

【Don’t wear diapers all the time】

Change the baby frequently at night, wipe the baby's bottom after taking it off in the morning, and do not wear diapers or disposable diapers for the baby during the day to keep the baby's bottom dry.
