Childhood eczema is a common skin condition in dermatology, which often occurs in infants and young children under the age of two. The skin lesions mainly appear on the cheeks, forehead, and scalp, and occasionally may develop on the trunk and limbs. Due to the intense itching, it often causes infants to cry and have disturbed sleep.
When a child develops eczema, parents can buy Dry Lotus Herb from a Chinese herbal medicine store for treatment, which often yields satisfactory results. The method is to take 100 grams of Dry Lotus Herb each time, add about 800 milliliters of water, simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, and then use sterilized gauze to apply the moistened herbal juice to the affected area, twice a day. The herbal juice can also be warmed and concentrated for topical application, three times a day. Most children recover within a week of using this treatment. During the treatment, it is important to avoid giving the child spicy food, fish, shrimp, beef, lamb, and other foods.
