Baby skin cuts are common as almost all young children grow. The relentless inflammation occurs in children between the ages of 6 months and up to 2 years and causes discomfort to both the little one and his mother. So learn more about it and how to protect your offspring effectively.
What is undercutting?
Itching is an irritating dermatitis that most commonly attacks the diaper area, but the relentless irritation can also appear on any fold of the baby's body. Babies' skin is thinner compared to adults'. A high pH makes it more vulnerable to irritation and infection. She still can't defend herself.
This common problem has two phases. A mild phase, accompanied by only redness, without wounding the skin. The acute phase is expressed in the formation of wounds and very strong skin inflammation. Do your best to avoid the acute phase by taking prompt action right from the start. Treatment should be undertaken to relieve discomfort and prevent bacterial or fungal infection.
Main reasons for the appearance of undercutting
The reasons for the appearance of underbite can be many different factors or a combination of them - sensitive baby skin, diapers, friction, overheating and changes in the little one's diet. If you take too long to change a full diaper, expect irritant dermatitis to knock on your door.
The inability of the skin to breathe from the diaper or the clothes will again end unpleasantly - with cuts on the baby's skin. Sometimes it also occurs as a reaction to new food for the baby's menu. Improper cosmetics and not very thorough absorption of water from the baby's skin folds also provoke redness.
Symptoms
The symptoms are far from difficult to recognize. These include redness, a tiny rash in the diaper area and body folds, a crying and irritable baby, and an anxious mom. Irritated and inflamed skin is quite painful for him. If it is in the diaper area, the child will experience a stinging pain every time he fulfills his physiological needs. So make sure you heal him quickly!
Traditional medicine
Traditional medicine recommends the use of ready-made creams enriched with zinc oxide, vitamins and natural extracts of anti-inflammatory herbs such as sumac, calendula, chamomile and thyme.
How to relieve symptoms with home remedies?
Medicine at home. Sound like an outdated practice? Yes, but it is very reliable in dealing with the problem. Herbal baths with decoction of chamomile and thyme - herbs known for their anti-inflammatory and soothing properties - best affect irritation on children's skin. After boiling the herbs (1 whole package of each), dilute with water to your desired temperature.
It is recommended that the water not be hot, so as not to irritate further. The child must be bathed before the herbal bath.
Another good idea is to use coconut oil. It hydrates the baby's skin and forms a protective film on it, so it does not come into direct contact with the diaper.
And if you are a lover of homemade creams, here is a recipe for homemade anti-itch cream. The main ingredients are dried calendula flowers and coconut oil. Half a kilogram of oil is heated and mixed with 4 handfuls of the dried medicinal herb, stirred on the stove until it begins to fry. Then you let it sit overnight and in the morning you reheat it, strain it and put it in the fridge to set. So - after not much effort you have your home remedy.
But not everyone has the time to devote to mixing this potion. Mothers' daily lives are busy enough, so the experts at Baby Crema have taken care of this step for you.
Our team at Baby Crema has created a chafing cream that combines all the necessary ingredients to deal with irritant dermatitis from the first application. The rich composition of natural extracts of sumac, calendula and chamomile quenches irritating redness. After enriching the cream with zinc oxide, a protective film is created on the baby's skin, which protects the skin from contact with the diaper. Save your baby from hiccups instantly, without wasting extra time, with Baby Crema with sumac extract.
However, before taking such measures, by following a few simple steps, you can avoid the occurrence of undercutting.
How to prevent undercutting in 4 steps
Strict hygiene is the first sure step that will save a baby from unpleasant irritation. Frequent changing of diapers and washing of the bottom with each change of shoes are basic rules that you should follow. A baby's bottom should always be clean. We mentioned preventive lubrication above, but now we will emphasize it again. Get the right cosmetics and make it a habit to always apply when changing diapers.
Do not overheat the child! This not only makes it stronger, but also helps in its proper tempering and builds good resistance to infections and irritations.
Because of their fear, mothers often overheat the child's room and dress him, not realizing that this can have bad consequences. The temperature of the child's room should be around 20-22 degrees.
The good old rule - the child should have one more layer of clothes than mom. Follow this advice to make sure your baby is neither cold nor hot. It is important to pay attention to the material of the clothes. It is strongly recommended that you dress the little one only in comfortable clothes made of natural materials that do not constrict, kill or scratch.
Remember that diapers are part of your baby's clothing. The choice of diapers made of quality material and the right size is decisive for the health of the baby's skin. The small size diapers, accompanied by the artificial material will lead to nothing but undermining.
The period from 6 months of age to 2 years is a period of many changes in a baby's life. Adding new foods to a baby's diet is just one of them, but few mothers are aware of what side effects to watch out for. Whenever you introduce a new food to your baby, watch how it will affect his skin. Some foods cause irritant dermatitis or, if it is already on the face, significantly worsen the situation. As soon as you notice which new delicacy causes this, limit it as much as possible or simply remove it from the child's diet until he grows up the possible period of cutting. Be careful with fruit juices too, because they can be the cause of this problem.
