Natural Ways to Treat Baby Eczema

Natural Ways to Treat Baby Eczema

Eczema is a common skin condition in babies that usually develops between two and six months of age. However, the condition can occur at any other age and is characterized by dry, itchy red patches that can be very uncomfortable for the baby. A baby should of course have silky smooth skin that is healthy, but some babies don't enjoy this due to eczema. There are, of course, many medications, including topical creams, designed to treat the skin condition. However, natural methods are best and there are a number of natural methods you can use to treat and soothe your baby's skin.

Use pressed oil

Sunflower and coconut oil are the best oil remedies for eczema in babies. Coconut moisturizes the skin and has antibacterial properties that help reduce eczema and the risks of the condition. Sunflower oil, on the other hand, is rich in fatty acids that are helpful in treating the disease. It improves the barrier function of baby's skin and keeps it moisturized, significantly improving the condition. The pressed oil from sunflower or coconut can be massaged onto the baby's skin daily to treat eczema and moisturize the skin to minimize the risks.

Use oatmeal baths

Gemahlener Hafer lindert sehr effektiv Hautirritationen und hilft auch bei Juckreiz, der mit Ekzemen verbunden ist. Sie können Bäder verwenden, um Entzündungen zu reduzieren und den pH-Wert der Haut zu normalisieren. Eine einfache Möglichkeit, diese natürliche Behandlung anzuwenden, besteht darin, eine Handvoll kolloidales Haferflockenmehl in eine Socke zu nehmen und dann unter fließendem Badewasser zu halten. Das Wasser sollte milchig aussehen, bevor Sie das Baby im Wasser baden. Das Haferflocken in der Socke kann auch gesichert und im Badewasser belassen werden. Regelmäßige Bäder erzielen die gewünschten Hautergebnisse.

Use breathable lightweight fabrics

Overheating is one of the contributing factors to eczema. Therefore, it is important that you choose breathable and lightweight fabrics that will keep your baby warm while allowing good blood circulation to avoid the development or worsening of eczema. It is actually a good idea to choose organic fabrics when purchasing your baby clothes as they do not contain irritating chemicals that can cause eczema.

Use natural baby products

A baby that smells good is very appealing, but this does not mean putting your baby's health at risk. To treat eczema, avoid topical baby products that contain irritants and harsh chemicals. Such products only worsen the condition and the best thing is that you settle for natural baby products that are mild and gentle on the skin. Some products that contain lavender oil and colloidal oatmeal can be very good in treating the skin condition. Be careful with the creams and moisturizers you choose for the baby so that you get natural ingredients that help treat the condition and maintain healthy baby skin.
