The "Yellow Water Blister" that we often talk about refers to a purulent skin infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus. So how can we prevent yellow water blisters in newborns?
Yellow water blisters are most common in children aged 2-7 years and are prevalent in the summer and autumn seasons. The clinical manifestations of the two types are large blister-like pustules that are prone to occur on the face, limbs, and other exposed areas.
Non-large blister-like pustules are prone to occur around the face, mouth, nose, ears, and exposed areas of the limbs.
To care for yellow water blisters, the baby room, daycare, and kindergarten should be isolated and disinfected. If a child is found to have yellow water blisters, they should be immediately isolated. The clothes, bedding, and utensils used by children with yellow water blisters should be promptly washed and disinfected to prevent transmission. The living environment should also be disinfected.
Because yellow water blisters are prevalent in the summer and autumn seasons and are common in children and infants, they are highly contagious. Therefore, the key to preventing this disease is to pay attention to skin hygiene and promptly treat itching skin diseases.
For children with yellow water blisters, isolation should be implemented to prevent transmission. Contaminated clothing and utensils should be disinfected. It is important to maintain clean skin hygiene and promptly treat conditions such as prickly heat, insect bite dermatitis, and various skin injuries.
The main method to prevent newborn pustular dermatitis is to strengthen care, reduce unnecessary contact between newborns and the outside world, and regularly wash hands with soap and water for those who come into contact with newborns. Medical personnel or mothers carrying bacteria should be promptly treated. If necessary, medical personnel and mothers should use 0.1% penicillin spray in the nasal throat to clean the lesions and eliminate carriers. Pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of newborn skin, bathe regularly, change clothes and diapers, and clean the external genitalia after defecation.
