What babies can’t eat if they have skin allergies and what to pay attention to

A baby's skin is always moist and tender, but it is also the most tender and fragile, and is easily affected by external stimuli and causes allergies. If your baby has skin allergies, it is not suitable to use professional adult medicines for external application, and the recovery will be slow, so parents should use diet to regulate the baby to prevent the allergy from further deteriorating due to food stimulation.

1. Do not eat eggs, dairy products and snacks

Although milk is very nutritionally comprehensive, it is a food that is very prone to allergies in children. In addition to milk, foods such as chocolate and snacks can easily cause skin allergies in children.

Protein is allergic to some patients with allergic constitutions. They are prone to protein allergic urticaria, diarrhea, abdominal pain, skin rash and other phenomena. Therefore, such babies should avoid foods rich in protein.

2. You can’t eat seafood

Seafood is the most likely to cause skin allergies, so parents should pay more attention and not feed seafood to babies casually.

3. Do not eat fruits such as mango and pineapple

Mango and pineapple are the tropical fruits most likely to cause skin allergies. Some of it is due to the ingredients in the fruit itself. Some of them are because the growth hormones remaining in the fruit during the production, storage and preservation process may also cause skin allergies in babies.

2. Precautions for baby skin allergies

Preventing scratching behavior

Baby skin allergies are usually accompanied by itching symptoms, and the baby can't help scratching. The more itchy it is, the more severe it becomes. If the baby is allowed to behave like this, it will form a vicious cycle of "itching - scratching - more itching - scratching again".

Clean saliva and sweat in time

If your baby spits, wipe it off immediately. In addition, it is necessary to maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the room to avoid sweating and to prevent saliva and sweat from causing secondary irritation to the baby's fragile skin.

Stay away from allergenic elements

If your baby has skin allergies, keep him away from allergenic environments, such as pollen, mold, dust, trees, tobacco, smoke, perfume, gasoline, paint, pesticides, detergents, medicines, pets, carpets and other allergenic factors.

Use moisturizer after bathing

If your baby has skin allergies, reduce excessive bathing and avoid using irritating soaps. After bathing your baby, immediately use a moisturizing product that is mild, non-irritating, and can mildly treat baby's skin allergies.

Go to the hospital to identify allergens

There are many factors that cause allergies. Who is causing allergies to your baby? It is best for mothers to take their babies to the hospital for allergen testing. Once the allergen is identified, continued contact with the allergen should be stopped immediately and the allergic reaction will usually disappear naturally.
