Causes of eczema in babies
1. food allergy
The cause of eczema in children may be food allergy. Many children are allergic to protein, milk, fish, shrimp and other foods. If the child eats them or the mother gives them milk after eating these foods, the child may develop eczema due to food allergy.

Eczema may be caused by exposure to allergic substances. Children's skin is delicate. If they are exposed to parents' cosmetics, pollen, pet dander, artificial fiber, topical drugs, etc. in their daily life, they may cause eczema.
3. Hereditary eczema
The child's parents had eczema when they were young, so the child is more likely to have eczema after birth.
4. Influence of environmental factors
Some children's skin is more sensitive. Once affected by environmental factors such as sunlight, ultraviolet rays, cold and damp heat, they may grow eczema.
5. indigestion
If the child eats too much food and causes indigestion, or there are a large number of intestinal parasites in the body, or the parents usually give the child too much sugar and cause abnormal fermentation in the intestine, the child will develop eczema.
6. Improper nursing
Failure to pay attention to skin cleaning, environmental hygiene and changing laundry for children may lead to eczema.
