There is no relevant research support abroad. I found two relevant studies in the Chinese paper library. The most recent one was "Observation on the efficacy of 50 cases of infant eczema treated with external washing of honeysuckle decoction" published in 2013. The content is as follows:
Research subjects: 100 12-month-old infants with eczema, 55 males and 45 females.
Clinical data collection includes: medical visits Time, number, name, gender, age, recent medication, eczema site, contact number, treatment status;
Grouping method: 100 children with odd numbers will enter the experimental group, and those with even numbers will enter the control group .
Treatment method: The experimental group was given honeysuckle decoction for external washing treatment. Add 50 g of honeysuckle (dried honeysuckle purchased at a traditional Chinese pharmacy) and 1500 ml of water, boil for 20 minutes, cool and then wash the rash area externally, twice a day. The control group was given external application of chlorhexidine gluconate ointment twice a day. All children had not received any treatment in the past 1 week. Both the experimental group and the control group were used continuously for 7 days.
Efficacy standards: recovery: skin lesions completely subside, itching symptoms disappear, markedly effective: skin lesions subside significantly or mostly, and itching significantly reduces; effective: skin lesions partially subside, Itching symptoms have improved; invalid: the skin lesions have not subsided significantly, the itching has not been relieved or the clinical symptoms have worsened.
Results Comparison of the efficacy of the two groups of infants: the total effective rate was 94% in the experimental group and 78% in the control group. Combining with actual data, it can be inferred that external washing with traditional Chinese medicine honeysuckle decoction is more effective than external application of conventional drug Shunfeng chlorhexidine gluconate ointment in the treatment of infant eczema.
The entire study has certain reference value. According to the results, it can be inferred that taking a bath with honeysuckle can indeed relieve baby eczema, but the sample size is not large enough. Eczema is an inflammatory disease of the skin caused by the destruction of the skin barrier. The root of treatment is anti-inflammation. The key to care is moisturizing and avoiding allergen stimulation. If your baby's eczema is severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital to find the allergen and carry out targeted treatment.
Taking a bath with honeysuckle can provide some relief for baby eczema.
Baby Eczema
Eczema is a common skin disease in infants and young children. There are many reasons for its occurrence:
1. Infants and young children’s immune function imbalance or endocrine disease Disease;
2. Dietary allergies: milk, eggs, seafood, mango and other foods;
3. Improper care: excessive consumption of alkaline soap to clean baby's clothes or diapers;

4. External factors such as pollen, willow catkins, and cold air.
A few days after Dabao was born, a bunch of small red spots appeared on his face. Soon after, dandruff-like things began to appear on his scalp. I took the baby to see a doctor, and the doctor diagnosed it as eczema. So I prescribed topical medicine and gave some precautions. However, there was no obvious effect. I went to the Provincial Children's Hospital and did an allergen test. It was found that I was allergic to eggs and milk. I was prescribed some topical medicine and was advised to take a bath with honeysuckle boiled water, which indeed provided some relief.
Take a bath with honeysuckle
Honeysuckle is cold in nature and has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying and anti-inflammatory. It is suitable for dry mouth and thirst, excessive sweating and boredom, enteritis, measles, skin infection, mumps, and suppuration. It has certain curative effect on diseases such as tonsillitis. Honeysuckle vine boiled in water has a certain therapeutic effect on itchy skin such as eczema in children. In summer, using honeysuckle water to bathe babies has the effect of removing heat and relieving prickly heat.
However, because the baby's skin is delicate, honeysuckle needs to be mixed with water after boiling, instead of scrubbing the baby directly to avoid irritating the baby's skin and causing the opposite effect.
Precautions for baby eczema
Boiling honeysuckle water for baby bathing can only relieve baby eczema to a certain extent. If you want to eradicate baby eczema, you must pay more attention to other aspects:

Yes, you can, I Have real experience. My little granddaughter's eczema was very serious. The doctor said it was dry eczema. After we came back, we boiled water with honeysuckle and put it in the tub to wash her hair (which was covered with scalp) and take a bath. Why! The eczema has been relieved a lot. She no longer scratches with her hands. It has a very good effect. I wash her once every two days.
I think the most important thing for us is not to discuss whether honeysuckle is effective, but to discuss how to treat infant eczema. I am also a mother of a baby with eczema, and only I know the sadness and tears. It is recommended that you take your child to see an expert. The expert will tell you the most systematic method. My baby is six months old and has finally gotten out of the recurring period of eczema. He has gone through a lot. Eczema is the most troublesome symptom in pediatrics, and it always relapses. Mothers must cooperate in order to help the baby out of the sea of ??suffering.
After the practical operation, I was clearly informed: there is no relief!
My baby is a typical baby with eczema. He has had eczema since he was in confinement. The eczema was at its worst when he was more than two months old. The whole face was covered with eczema. Fortunately, it didn’t appear on my body. But I did a very stupid thing and applied calamine on the baby’s face (I heard other mothers say that her baby’s eczema was cured by just rubbing it on it. , then I took action immediately), and then the eczema worsened, so you must be cautious when using medicine on your baby, and you must try it on a small area before using it. Calamine is useful for mild or some babies, but it is certainly not suitable for all babies. However, when my baby is bitten by mosquitoes or has prickly heat, using calamine works very well.
The next step for calamine, I bought 1 catty of honeysuckle and took it home to bathe and wash my baby’s face (I also listened to other mothers’ suggestions, saying that honeysuckle clears away heat, and then I took action immediately.) , after using it for a week, the baby's eczema was not relieved, but the skin turned black. The originally fair child turned yellow and black. During that time, the baby was still breastfeeding, and I seriously suspected that I was eating something wrong, so I cut out all the foods that might cause allergies, but it had no effect. Finally, I went to the hospital. I have been to all the top tertiary hospitals, as well as to specialized dermatology hospitals. The results were: the baby has weak immunity and will be fine if he gets older. Then the doctor prescribed hormone drugs.
Eczema has been recurring, and many methods have been used, but the honeysuckle bath mentioned by the subject has no effect on relieving eczema. On the contrary, it will irritate the baby's skin with eczema, especially when it is damaged, which will aggravate the baby's eczema.
For babies with eczema, the first thing is to moisturize them well, the second thing is to adjust the baby’s feeding and improve their resistance, and the third thing is to find out the foods or items that may cause allergies and avoid contact with them.
Thank you for reading and welcome to communicate.
I only used honeysuckle, but now I know whether willow branches are willow branches
Hello, you can use honeysuckle to bathe your baby, and you must keep it clean and hygienic.
It is very easy for babies to have eczema. If it is not serious, if it is mild, you can use honeysuckle to clear away heat and detoxify.
However, you must know that eczema is a common allergic skin inflammation. Taking a bath with honeysuckle will not relieve your baby’s eczema, because eczema is mainly caused by allergies. There are certain effects on the inflammation and infection caused by eczema. help.
But there is no therapeutic effect. The treatment is basically anti-inflammatory. The key to care is moisturizing and avoiding allergen stimulation. If the sick baby's skin symptoms are severe, he should receive formal treatment in time.
My baby is two months old now. I basically wash his face with honeysuckle soaked in water every morning. There is basically no eczema on the baby’s face
Yes, it works after using it
