Blisters and eczema on baby's feet

Sometimes babies' feet may be infected by viruses and develop blisters, which may be a manifestation of eczema. Never let your baby scratch a foot with blisters, because if the blisters burst, they may spread to other parts of the body. Therefore, parents must pay attention to protecting their babies to prevent blisters from spreading to other parts of the body. So what should you do if blisters and eczema appear on your baby’s feet?

What are the care taboos when a baby has eczema?

1. Avoid taking a bath in hot water

Bathing in hot water will irritate the baby's eczema and make it more serious, especially when the temperature rises. It should be avoided when the weather is too hot. It is recommended to bathe in warm water at 36℃~38℃. Dry your body immediately after bathing.

2. Avoid exposure to the sun

Children with eczema should avoid exposure to strong sunlight, because high temperatures can stimulate sweat glands and make eczema worse. If children need to sunbathe, parents are advised to let them do so in the morning when the sun is not as strong.

3. Avoid using soap and shower gel

It is recommended that children with eczema reduce the number of baths they take, and each bath should not exceed 5 minutes. It is best to use only clean water. Because the chemical ingredients in soaps and shower gels can irritate your baby's skin.

4. Prevent your baby from scratching

Eczema is extremely itchy and babies can't help scratching, but scratching and rubbing may further irritate the skin or cause inflammation and make the condition worse.

5. Don’t wear synthetic clothes

When children suffer from eczema, they should wear clean, soft and comfortable clothes, pillows should be changed and washed frequently, and clothes and bedding should be made of light-colored pure cotton cloth, not chemical fiber products.

6. Eat light food

Nursing mothers should avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as peppers, onions, garlic, wine, etc. For babies who are starting to eat complementary foods, their diet should not be greasy and they should also avoid foods such as shrimp, crab, marine fish, and egg yolks.

In daily life, be careful not to let your children eat too much. For breastfeeding mothers, be careful not to eat foods such as mackerel and shrimp that are prone to cause allergies. If your child drinks milk, you may want to boil the milk for a longer time. When adding complementary foods, do not add egg whites first. It is best to add a small amount of egg yolk first, and then gradually increase the amount. Children's food should not be too salty. Neither the mother nor the baby should wear clothes made of silk or wool fabrics to avoid causing or aggravating allergies.
