Hi Steem Community! I´m here to talk about Skin Problems, my son needs your help.
I´m creating this post to learn about my son skin issues and hopefully you will have some remedies or experience to help us too. Seeing our little one suffering, scratching and so... sad is really destroying our hearts. We understand this is going to stay with us and thanks God it is only a skin problem, so we have to get better to help him.
Atopic skin in babies
When we talk about atopic skin in babies, the situation is aggravated, because by our perception of parents we lose the logic and we move by the feelings instead of the head. For this reason it is very important not to medicate the child without the prescription of a specialist, ever.
As soon as the first signs of atopic dermatitis in our baby appears (redness in body folds, rashes, etc.) we must go to the pediatrician, if he sees that it is atopic skin will refer us to a specialist dermatologist child, to better evaluate the situation of the child.
In our case, Alexander is only three and there is no way to do any allergies test yet but we just know (as parents) that dust and sweating has a lot to do with it...
The most important thing is to keep the skin hydrated until a dermatologist sees your child; it would be convenient to use non-harmful creams and provide hydration, as is the case of Nivea cream of hands, quite fat and in large quantities, give the child What your skin needs, although it will not stop the fumes and irritations of our baby's skin. I recommend that you talk to your trusted pharmacist about this, and you will be given a good, specialized cream for the maintenance of your child's skin until the dermatologist sees it.
Infectious theories of atopic skin
Atopic skin is one of the diseases that most attack today the human race and is very present in children. It is a disorder, as we know, of the sebaceous glands that causes itching and itching, forming a kind of scales on the skin.
This complication has many possible causes and each one of them must be studied to give an effective answer to the people who suffer it in order to help improve the treatments that the patient needs to get ahead with the disease.
Some of the theories of why this condition occurs are due to the reactions of the skin to the external agents to which we submit it in our daily life, but there are also other alternative theories that would explain this disease.
Here we will tell you the two main infectious theories for atopic skin disease:
The neurovegetative theory: This theory indicates that the patient may have an abnormal response by the nervous system.
Emotional Theory: This theory indicates that because the skin is an organ that is related to the nervous system and it is exposed, as in the first row, to the reactions that can arise with changes in our life, causing both favorable reactions As contrary reactions.
We live in an island that suffers from CALIMA, which is a hot, oppressing dust and sand-laden wind coming from Africa. It's fine yellowish-brown dust is even creeping through doors and windows. Surely one of the primary suspects for our son condition
A Blockchain of Problems
As the eruption in the skin appeared from one day to the next, we were not ready. By the time we noticed there was a problem with Alexander he had been scratching already for almost two days. The first dots appeared behind his ear and under the armpit, not really visible but soon his whole back was covered in red dots.
The itchiness is a double problem, he damage his skin further by scratching (even biting) but worst, he is excited all day long which only increases the skin problems.
We have a good collection of creams that we keep trying to search for the best solution, some for the showers (which I try to keep as often as possible); some for the night and when he is scratching I would even give him something to relax.
