Baby eczema mainly presents with skin redness, swelling, itching, papules, and exudation. Compound Coptis Liquid has functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, reducing swelling, and removing decayed tissue. Hydrocortisone Butyrate Cream is a glucocorticoid medication that has anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects.
It is recommended to keep the baby's skin clean and dry, avoid scratching to prevent infection. Compound Coptis Liquid can be applied onto the affected area via gauze wet敷. Apply a thin layer of Hydrocortisone Butyrate Cream onto the eczema area. When using Hydrocortisone Butyrate Cream, avoid extensive or prolonged application to prevent adverse reactions such as skin atrophy and capillary dilation.
If the baby's eczema symptoms are severe or there is no significant improvement after three days of medication, seek medical attention promptly and adjust the treatment plan. Medication should be used under the guidance of a qualified physician.
