How to treat eczema on a child's hands with small blisters

Eczema is a relatively common skin disease, especially in children with relatively poor immunity and antibacterial ability, who are easily threatened by eczema. Blisters are prone to appear on the infected skin. If the condition is serious, you can use 1:10000 potassium permanganate solution for wet compresses, which can have a good bactericidal and oxidative effect. In addition, keep the skin dry and pay attention to diet conditioning.

What is the best way to treat eczema in children?

The type of drug dosage used to treat eczema depends on the symptoms of eczema. If there is obvious redness and swelling, and a lot of exudation, cold wet compresses with solutions should be used, and ointments should not be used. For erythema and papules, lotions, emulsions, mud pastes, oils, etc. can be used; for blisters and erosions, oils are needed; and for scales and scabs, ointments should be used.

There are many types of medicines that can be used for eczema, and they should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Before changing to a new medication, be sure to remove the previous medication. When changing medication, it is best to apply it to a small area of ​​eczema first, observe the effect, and decide whether to use it. Avoid aggravating the condition due to improper use of medications.

Cold wet compress:

(1) Commonly used 1:10000 potassium permanganate solution for wet compresses (be careful to make sure the potassium permanganate is completely dissolved, as undissolved potassium permanganate will burn the baby's skin). This not only cleans the wound surface, but also has a bactericidal, astringent and oxidative effect.

(2) Use 4 to 6 layers of gauze, making sure it does not drip water. Apply the wet gauze to the wound surface. The time and frequency of replacement should be determined based on the amount of exudate from the eczema. When the exudate absorbed by the gauze reaches half saturation, replace the gauze. Two to three times daily. When there is a lot of exudate, the dressing should be changed more frequently during wet compresses to avoid leaving the dressing soaked with exudate on the wound for a long time, which will irritate the surrounding normal skin and cause the wound to expand.

What should we pay attention to when we have eczema in children?

1. Keep the skin clean and dry. When bathing your baby, it is advisable to use warm water and non-alkaline bath agent to clean the baby's body. For babies with intertrigo, special attention should be paid to cleaning the folds of the skin. When taking a bath, the shower gel must be rinsed off. After washing, wipe the moisture off the baby's body and apply a non-oily moisturizer to avoid hindering the normal breathing of the skin.

2. Avoid external stimulation. Parents should always pay attention to changes in temperature and humidity around the baby. Babies with contact dermatitis should especially avoid exposing their skin to cold wind or strong sunlight.

3. Trim the nails short. If the baby suffers from severely itchy atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis, parents should trim the baby's nails short frequently to reduce the chance of scratching.
