The temperature is getting higher and higher in summer. Recently, several mothers asked me, what should I do if my child has severe eczema.
Han Han had eczema every summer when she was a child. The eczema on her back would be scratched by her and it was bloody. a way.
Why is there more eczema in summer than in spring, autumn and winter?
There are external reasons. In summer, there is a lot of rain and the air humidity is high. Usually, the high temperature is in the 30s, which is sultry and humid. In such a hot and humid environment, the child’s body adjustment ability is not as strong as that of adults, and the body is easily affected by the environment.
On the other hand, all kinds of fruits are on the market in summer. They are cheap, watery and sweet. Fruits are easy to get wet, and children’s spleen and stomach can’t be removed. If the water is too wet, it can’t be discharged for a long time. It is easy to ferment and form stagnant heat. These hot and humid urine can’t be discharged completely, and it will come out from the skin, and eczema will appear. .
In fact, not only eczema, but also prickly heat, sweat herpes, and even diarrhea in summer, many of which are related to damp heat.

This heat and humidity resistance is just right for us.
