Causes of baby's skin allergy
If the baby is allergic to skin, it will scratch, cry, sleep, and even cause loss of appetite. Mothers may wish to pay attention to the causes of baby's skin allergy and try to reduce baby's skin allergy. Baby's skin allergy is generally caused by absorbing too much automobile exhaust, poor family hygiene, hairy pets and damp and moldy environment.
1, the baby absorbed too much automobile exhaust. The main pollutants emitted by automobile exhaust are hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and solid particles, which cause great irritation to the baby's respiratory tract, and these factors are likely to directly induce the baby's allergies.
2, caused by poor family hygiene. Carpets, mattresses and sofas used at home contain a lot of fiber, which is not only easy to breed mites, but also can directly stimulate the baby's respiratory tract. The harm caused by mites to babies is very great, which will affect their health, so mothers must pay attention to the bad environment at home. Like baby's bedding, household items should be changed frequently, and when the sun is good, they should be often taken out to bask in the sun.
3, caused by hairy pets. According to a survey by Japanese medical researchers, if the baby under 1 year-old lives in a family where animals such as cats and rabbits are raised, the baby will obviously increase the risk of allergic dermatitis. Because animal waste and dander are very easy to cause baby skin allergies.
4, damp mildew is allergic. Mold is also one of the main causes of baby skin allergy. Mold generally grows in damp environments such as basements and bathrooms. It is suggested that mothers should keep their babies away from these places less, and the bathroom should also change the filter screen and use air filters regularly.
Baby's skin allergy symptoms
The baby has a red and itchy rash, and mothers begin to worry about whether the baby is allergic to the skin. Baby's skin allergy is not only red and itchy, but also symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, dry skin, swollen eyelids and swollen lips.
1, the most obvious symptoms of skin allergy are itchy skin, dryness, swollen eyelids and swollen lips on the baby's body, and may be accompanied by redness, dryness and blisters. Occasionally there may be numbness, swelling and tightness in the chest.
2, the baby's eyelids or mouth have temporary, different sizes, reddish or pale bumps, clear erythema, papules, papules, and local itching, which is also one of the symptoms of skin allergy.
3. If the baby has itching, sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, watery eyes, bronchitis, persistent cough, chest noise, asthma, airway obstruction, etc., it may also be skin allergy. Mothers should not treat it lightly, thinking that this is a symptom of a cold.
4. If the baby has stomachache, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, mucinous diarrhea, constipation and bloodshot, although this symptom is very similar to indigestion, it may also be caused by allergies.
5, if the baby's performance is not the same as usual, it always seems to be more irritable, easy to wake up at night, headache, energetic, weight loss, etc., mothers should also pay attention, this is also a symptom of allergies, but this allergy is more subtle and difficult to detect, so mothers should pay more attention to the baby's situation at ordinary times.
How does darling skin allergy do?
The baby's skin is allergic, and the mothers are very worried, hoping to relieve the baby's discomfort, but the mothers can't start? In fact, it is very simple to relieve the baby's skin allergy. First, don't scratch with your hands. Second, pay attention to the baby's hygiene. Finally, give the baby a corresponding acupoint massage.
1 If the baby is allergic, don't let the baby scratch it with his hands, but gently touch it to prevent the vicious circle of "itch-scratch-itch".
2. After the baby is allergic, don't bathe the baby often. During the bathing process, don't use irritating soap for the baby, and use moisturizing agent for the baby immediately after washing.
3. Maintain the proper temperature and humidity in the baby's room. Don't always let the baby stay in the air-conditioned room. If it is too hot, mothers can consider putting a basin of water in the room, which can reduce the temperature and increase the humidity.
4. Massage the spring point on the baby's sole once a day, massage (click or rub) 30 to 50 times each time, or soak the baby's feet with mugwort leaves, which can relieve the baby's skin allergies.
5. Pressing the fontanelle on the baby's head can also relieve the pain, but it should be noted that this method is only suitable for babies under 1 year and a half. The specific method is that the father covers the child's fontanel door with his own hands, because the strength of the father is obviously higher than that of the mother, and covering it 15 to 30 minutes is enough. When pressing the fontanelle on the baby's head, drink plenty of warm water for the baby, and remember not to drink hot water for the baby, otherwise it will easily stimulate the child's weak nasal and laryngeal mucosa, which will lead to mucosal congestion and decreased resistance.
Daily nursing care of baby's skin allergy
Parents can use the following methods to relieve the baby with allergic symptoms in daily care:
Massage the Yongquan point on the soles of children's feet once a day for 30 to 50 times each time. Soaking feet with mugwort leaves has the same effect.
Another acupoint is the fontanel on the top of the head, which is suitable for children under one and a half years old, because the fontanel of the child is not completely closed at this time, so it is more effective to use. It is suggested that Dad put his hands on the child's fontanel, because Dad's yang is obviously higher than that of his mother's. When he puts his hands on 15 to 30 minutes, the general child's cold will come out. At this time, give the child plenty of warm water instead of hot water, which will easily lead to mucosal congestion and decreased resistance.
Dietotherapy to relieve allergic symptoms;
Conditional families can buy a placenta from a pharmacy, preferably fresh, and repeatedly dry it in the oven. After drying, grind it into powder, and give the child half a beer cover at a time for half a month, which can quickly improve the child's immunity, warm up the kidney deficiency, and also have a good effect on the child's enuresis, night terrors and timidity.

Examination of baby's skin allergy
If you find that your child's skin has erythema, rash or other abnormal phenomena, regardless of other allergic symptoms, you should immediately take your baby to the pediatrics or dermatology department to see a doctor. They will give the child a comprehensive examination and test, and finally make a diagnosis. Allergens can be detected by skin prick test or skin patch test.
1, skin prick test Skin prick test is the safest, effective and economical allergen diagnosis method in European countries and the United States.
The specific method: drop a small amount of highly purified allergen liquid on the baby's forearm, and then gently pierce the skin surface with a pricker. If the baby is allergic to this allergen, a red lump similar to mosquito bite and a little itchy reaction will appear at the pricking site within 15 minutes, or the color is different from that before the experiment.
Advantages: economy, safety, high sensitivity, and patients have no pain, just like being bitten by mosquitoes, and patients and doctors can know the test results immediately.
2. Skin patch test. Skin patch test can also detect allergens, but this method takes a relatively long time.
Specific method: Put the medicine membrane soaked with antigen diluent directly on the flexion side of the baby's forearm. After one or two days, remove the membrane and observe the results after removing the antigen.
Once the allergen is clear, mothers should not let the baby continue to contact the allergen. If it is not serious, the allergic reaction will naturally disappear. Severe cases should be treated in hospital.
Prevention of baby's skin allergy
Mothers can prevent the baby's skin allergy by increasing the humidity in the room, keeping the baby away from irritating items, reducing the dust in the baby's room and eating and exercising.
1, increase the humidity of the room. It is most suitable when the humidity of the baby's room reaches 50%. The environment is too dry, which will hurt the baby's nasal mucosa and may cause children to catch a cold and cough. If the environment is too humid, it is easy to breed bacteria, both of which can easily make the baby's skin allergic. When it is too hot in summer, mothers should not turn on the air conditioner all night. They can put a basin of water in the baby's room to increase the humidity.
2, don't let the baby contact with stimulating items. First of all, when mothers take their babies out for a walk, don't go out when the wind is strong, and it is not recommended to take them to places where flowers are in full bloom, because pollen and dust can also become allergens. Secondly, the baby's room should use a high-performance odorless and nontoxic air freshener to purify the air. Finally, volatile substances should be avoided as much as possible, such as mosquito-repellent incense, cigarette incense, perfume, pesticides and so on.
3. Reduce the dust in the baby's room. Mothers should keep their baby's room clean and often change the bedding such as sheets, pillowcases and quilt covers used by their babies.
4. Diet and health care. Related research shows that the probability of skin allergy of breast-fed babies will be greatly reduced, so mothers are urged to insist on breast-feeding and add complementary food after the baby is six months old. It should be noted that the complementary food added to the baby should be light, and the seasonings and pigments should be minimized.
5. Do proper exercise for your baby. Don't cover your baby too tightly when sleeping, and you should take your baby out to exercise more, but don't sweat, because sweating may also cause allergies.
