How to avoid the problem of dry itching in children in winter!

In winter, due to the stimulation of the cold wind and the high use of electric heaters , it is easy to make the skin dry or itchy . Because the skin of the child is more delicate , parents should pay special attention to the skin reaction of the child , especially those with atopic skin Children with inflammation have more sensitive skin, coupled with poor water retention capacity and insufficient sebum secretion, so the discomfort will be particularly worse in winter. Improper maintenance or the use of bad care products are often the culprits that cause dry itching in winter or children's sensitive skin.

How to prevent children from suffering from dry itching in winter, Zheng Huiwen, Chief Physician of Dermatology Department of Shutian Clinic, proposed a few things that parents should pay attention to:

Proper cleanliness is important
Baby's skin is delicate and tender, so you can bathe your baby with warm water at ordinary times. If you sweat a lot today, mom and dad can occasionally help your baby take a gentle bubble bath; when your baby is older, I started to become lively and playful, sometimes I would get dirty and sweaty when I ran and jumped. As long as the skin condition permits, it doesn’t matter if I use bath products every day, and then I will strengthen the local cleaning of the wrinkles and small buttocks.
Dr. Zheng Huiwen reminded that in addition to paying attention to the water temperature not being too high when bathing children, you should choose weak acid products that are closest to the skin for bathing, and it is better not to add fragrances and preservatives (spices and preservatives have been proven to be the cause of allergies) ) , and even children with atopic physique can use commercially available bath products specially made for sensitive skin, or medical-grade cleaning and maintenance products, which can help reduce skin discomfort. In addition, soaps, medicated soaps, and bath salts commonly used by adults are too strong in cleaning and irritating to sensitive children, so it is best not to use them.
Skin care products must not be less
After the baby takes a bath, parents should apply skin care lotion on the baby while there is still some moisture on the body surface , so that the lotion can play a better role in locking water and repairing ; if the child uses external ointment due to skin diseases, please also Be sure to ask your doctor in what order to mix ointments and lotions. Dr. Zheng Huiwen reminded the parents carefully, because the ointment will be absorbed by the body within a few minutes of application, so there is no need to worry about "covering" the effect of the medicine when applying skin care products. An extra layer of protection for your baby's skin!
Best choice for cotton clothing
If the child's skin is dry and itchy, wearing thick and prickly woolen clothing will undoubtedly aggravate the skin discomfort, especially children with atopic physique are prone to allergies to wool, so pure cotton clothing is the smartest choice for baby's skin . Pure cotton clothes are natural , sweat-absorbing, ventilated, and soft. Remember to wash them first after buying them to reduce the chance of chemical substances such as fluorescent agents remaining, and they will not irritate the skin and cause burden.
Pay attention to humidity when using electric heaters, electric heaters accelerate the loss of humidity in the air
When the weather is cold, parents are always worried that their children will catch a cold and sneeze, so they use electric heaters indoors to maintain the temperature. However, electric heaters accelerate the loss of humidity in the air, so the baby will feel dry and itchy instead . At this time, you can put a small basin of water next to the electric heater, so that when the room temperature rises, the water in the basin will evaporate instead of the humidity on the body surface, and the skin will feel more comfortable.
Supplement more water, stop allergens
Because children with severe itching in winter often have atopic constitutions, they should always pay attention to the content of their diet, such as shelled seafood such as shrimp and crab, kiwi fruit, beans, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots and other vegetables and fruits, because they are easy to cause allergies. It should be avoided . Of course, water supplementation is also very important, water can promote the body's metabolism, it is the healthiest natural drink!
In fact, parents should teach children the correct concept of skin care since childhood. For example, when dry itching occurs, apply ointment or lotion at any time, pat instead of scratching, etc. Children with allergies can carry a small handkerchief to wipe sweat to keep the body dry , Let the children learn how to take care of themselves, and it can also reduce the burden of taking care of parents!
