What is baby skin allergy?
Baby skin allergies Many common allergens are children's favorite foods, drinks, smells or places where they often play, so they are often overlooked. After children are exposed to allergens, skin allergies, physical discomfort and behavioral problems usually occur soon.
Common allergic foods are: milk and dairy products, flour, corn, eggs, sugar, tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, yeast, food coloring, fruits, beef, pork and so on.
Common allergic environmental factors include pollen, mold, dust, trees, tobacco, smoke, perfume, gasoline, paint, pesticides, detergents, drugs, pets, carpets and so on.
Causes of skin allergy in infants
Baby's skin allergy is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by redness, swelling and itching. After the allergy occurs, the baby will scratch and cry repeatedly, which will cause loss of appetite and affect the mental state in severe cases. Allergy can be inherited. If parents are allergic to pollen, pets or certain foods, children have a 50% chance of being allergic. If both parents have allergies, the chances of children suffering from allergies will reach 75%, as will skin allergies. Children's skin allergies are more common than adults, because the baby's skin is more delicate than adults, so it is more prone to skin allergies, dry skin and other conditions.
When the baby's skin is allergic and has a red and itchy rash, it may be easy to think whether the baby's daily toiletries have caused the skin allergy. In fact, skin allergies and rashes may be caused by many reasons. Don't simply think that it is enough to stop using or replace skin care products, but ignore the real "culprit" that causes baby's skin allergy. Most babies with allergies are more prone to allergic reactions, and rash is a typical symptom of skin allergy in children. Pay attention to observation in daily life and take precautions as soon as possible. Breastfeeding can prevent the baby's skin allergy to a certain extent, so we can consider breastfeeding the baby for as long as possible, especially if the family has a history of allergies.
Infantile skin allergy symptoms
Symptoms of skin allergy in infants usually take several forms. One is perceptual symptoms, such as itching and tightness. One is external symptoms, such as redness, desquamation and redness. Of course, what is more serious is that both symptoms exist. The symptoms of children's skin allergy include systemic symptoms and behavioral changes, which often appear after children are exposed to allergens for half an hour to several hours.
(1) General symptoms
Children's cheeks, nose and earlobes flush, ear canal is wet, earache, nasal congestion, sneezing, dark circles, eyelid swelling, drooping, headache, dry lips, dry skin or excessive sweating, wrinkles in the corners of eyes or palms, abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal distension, constipation, eczema of arms, legs or joints, repeated infection, chronic cough, asthma, shallow, rapid or irregular breathing, and pulse.
(2) Behavior change
Children of different ages have different behaviors.
0 ~ 1 year-old baby group: crying or screaming continuously, unable to eat or needing to eat continuously, fidgety or extremely depressed, unable to sleep or sleepy, unwilling to be hugged, shaking his head, etc.
1 ~ 3-year-old children group: inexplicably angry, hyperactive, jumping around, bumping into the bed, tired, curled up in dark corners such as tables and chairs, under the bed or in furniture, refusing to be touched, unwilling to dress and undress, etc.
Children aged 3-6: sudden changes in mood and behavior, hyperactivity, inability to sit quietly and eat, listen to stories or watch TV programs, irritability, fatigue, disobedience, depression, aggressive behavior, leg shaking, drowsiness or nightmares, inability to write or draw horizontal lines, or the bigger the words, the more they change (excited type), or the smaller the words, the more they fall (depressed type).
Treatment of infant skin allergy
In the process of baby's skin allergy, allergic mediators play a direct role. Allergen is a necessary condition for allergic diseases, and allergic constitution is the root of children's skin allergy. Allergy is "like a hidden bomb". As long as the "allergen" is detonated, the baby's skin will be allergic. The culprit of allergy-IgE-mediated allergic allergy, in order to find allergic substances, medical institutions will provide allergen testing to help allergic patients know what kind of allergen they are. For IGE-mediated allergic allergy that has already occurred, they can only avoid contact. When allergen comes into contact with the body, it will stimulate immune cells to produce a large number of allergic antibody IgE, because the human intestine is an open channel for interaction with the outside world and the largest immune organ of the human body. In the intestinal immune system, there is an "immune tolerance" mechanism, which will inhibit the immune system from secreting immunoglobulin E(IgE) or G(IgG) to cause allergic reactions to food at will. Baby's skin allergy is due to the problem of "immune tolerance" mechanism. Therefore, when eating a certain food, the intestinal immune system will secrete too much immunoglobulin E(IgE) to attack the ingredients of the food, so it will produce allergies. If enough anti-allergic probiotics are supplemented in intestine, excessive immunoglobulin E(IgE) antibodies in serum are reduced, the secretion of interferon IFN-γ is stimulated, and the production of human immunoglobulin E(IgE) is inhibited, the allergic constitution can be effectively improved through immune regulation aiming at the upstream source of baby skin allergy. Not all probiotics have this magical effect. At present, there is only one kind of antiallergic probiotic (Kangminyuan Probiotic Granule), which has been widely used in infant skin allergy and infants in recent years. At present, the medical treatment of infant skin allergy mainly relies on antihistamines or corticosteroids to alleviate the allergic phenomenon.
First: control the environment
The easiest way for babies with allergic skin is to avoid contact with allergens and stay away from allergens, so that allergic patients will not contact allergens, thus not stimulating the body to react strongly to allergic substances and induce allergies.
Second: improve allergic constitution.
(1) People with allergic constitution have more immunoglobulin IgE (antibody mediating allergic reaction) than normal people. Once the patient encounters an allergen, the body will react, and immunoglobulin will react with the allergen substance, causing mast cells to release histamine to the corresponding tissues, thus causing allergies. Kangminyuan, an antiallergic probiotic, patented synthetic peptide immunogen, which started with allergic IGE immunoglobulin, and achieved complete reversal by repairing damaged cells and balancing immunity.
(2) Adult helper T cells 1 and helper T cells 2 have a certain ratio, which plays a role in regulating the balance of human immune system in the human circulatory system.
(3) There are many digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract of normal people, which are completely digested and absorbed by protein food entering the gastrointestinal tract.
(4) Allergic constitution can be inherited, and anti-allergic probiotics Kangmin source can be used to enhance the immune system. Improving the above symptoms means improving the allergic experience and putting an end to allergies.
Children's skin allergies should be noted that children are in the golden age of production and development, and all aspects of their bodies are immature, so we should pay attention to the treatment of baby's skin diseases and do not use some hormones and antihistamines. It will have a bad influence on the child's body. For example, with milk powder containing hormones, the baby's physical development is slow, and some even use too much hormones, and the child stops growing. Children's mothers can use some physical methods: for example, they can change clothes frequently and wash more sheets.
How does darling skin allergy do?
First, the diet should pay attention to:
In terms of diet, the best way to solve baby's skin allergy is breastfeeding. Breast milk can increase the baby's skin resistance and immunity, so the baby will not be so prone to skin allergies, and it is best to wean after more than six months. Under normal circumstances, complementary food can be added when the baby is four months old, but if the baby is allergic to skin, you must wait until six months before eating anything else. However, when the baby is six months old, the gastrointestinal tract absorption is still not good and it is easy to vomit, so the time to add complementary food will continue to be extended. The diet of infants and young children must be light, and seasonings and pigments should be minimized.
Second, pay attention to cleaning and reduce room dust.
To solve the baby's skin allergy, but also pay attention to indoor cleaning, try to reduce indoor dust. Frequent wiping with a damp cloth can effectively reduce dust, and the clothes, sheets and quilts of colleagues and babies should also be changed frequently.
Third, don't touch irritating items.
What perfume, all kinds of cosmetics, stay away from infants and flowers, especially on the day of flowering, pollen will cause great irritation to baby's skin, so be sure to avoid these irritants.
Fourth, control the humidity of the environment.
If the house is too humid, all kinds of bacteria will breed, and of course, it may also cause baby skin allergies, so we must pay attention to maintaining the humidity of the environment. Not too wet.
