Infant eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that mainly affects infants and children. It is characterized by skin redness, swelling, dryness, itchiness, and oozing.
Genetic factors and sensitive constitution: If family members have eczema, asthma, or other allergic conditions, the infant’s risk of developing eczema is increased. Some children may also have a sensitive skin constitution, making them more prone to allergic reactions from external stimuli, leading to eczema.
Immune system abnormalities: Abnormalities in a child’s immune system may cause an excessive response to certain stimuli or allergens, leading to skin inflammation and allergic reactions. This immune system imbalance may be related to specific genetic variations or dysregulation of the immune system.
Environmental and dietary factors: Certain external irritants, such as changes in climate, dry air, pollution, dust mites, pet dander, etc., can irritate the skin and trigger or worsen eczema symptoms.
Additionally, dietary factors, such as food sensitivities or allergies, can also induce eczema.
Eczema in infants often appears as red spots on the scalp, around the mouth, and on the cheeks, spreading to the elbows, knees, wrists, and ankles, or even the entire body.
The skin becomes red, swollen, and dry, sometimes accompanied by blisters and oozing.
Infants and children experience intense itchiness, sometimes with a burning sensation, and may become irritable and restless.
Damp-heat type: Skin redness, heat, moistness, possibly with yellow discharge. Common in those who consume too many spicy, oily foods.
Gastrointestinal type: Reddened, itchy skin that weeps after scratching, along with loose stools, poor appetite, and lack of energy. Common in those with a weak constitution and consuming too many cold, damp foods.
Dryness type: Dark-colored, itchy skin with scaling. Seen in chronic eczema patients.
Herbal medicine: Practitioners select Chinese herbs to first resolving inflammation and redness, then promoting skin regeneration, and finally strengthening resistance to prevent recurrence.
Topical ointments: Practitioners choose different topical medications based on the skin condition, such as wet dressings for moist lesions or ointments for dry lesions, complementing the internal herbal treatment.
Acupuncture: Stimulating specific acupuncture points can have anti-inflammatory, anti-itch, and blood circulation-promoting effects, also helping to regulate the immune system. Together with herbal medicine, acupuncture can improve the absorption and efficacy of the treatment.
Innovative “MANA Light” therapy
Combining traditional TCM treatment and modern technology, our clinic has introduced a phototherapy device used alongside acupuncture for eczema.
Based on the patient’s condition, we can select red, yellow or blue light therapy to achieve the best results.
Research shows blue light has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and soothing anti-itch effects, effectively reducing eczema-related redness, swelling and itchiness.
Red light can promote blood circulation and cellular metabolism, stimulate pigment production, and enhance the cells’ light absorption, aiding wound healing and improving skin elasticity.
Yellow light has a calming and soothing effect, improving redness and broken capillaries, making it especially suitable for sensitive skin conditions.
With “MANA Light”, we can provide customized treatment plans to address different symptoms and needs, helping patients alleviate the discomfort of eczema.
