The skin reacts hypersensitively to external stimuli. The inflamed skin and <strong>constant itching are a great burden<\/strong> for both children and parents.  <\/p>\n\n<p>But with a few simple measures, parents can <strong>provide relief in everyday life <\/strong>and distract from the unpleasant symptoms. Below you will find <strong>7 tips against atopic dermatitis in babies and children<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-primary-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/neurodermitis-wissen\/babys-kinder\/\">More about atopic dermatitis in children and babies<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. cotton gloves for sleeping<\/h2>\n\n<p>Special <strong>atopic dermatitis gloves<\/strong> can help to protect your child&#8217;s sensitive skin. The gloves are put on the child&#8217;s hands before <strong>going to bed<\/strong> and prevent the child from scratching the affected areas of skin.  <\/p>\n\n<p>This allows the inflammation to <strong>heal<\/strong> more quickly and the itching <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/en\/skin-knowledge\/itching-all-over-the-body\/\" title=\"Itching all over the body\">itching <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><strong>all over the body<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is significantly <strong>alleviated<\/strong>. Ointments or care products are absorbed into the skin and bacteria no longer get from the hands to the inflamed areas. This means that even the youngest children are fully protected and can <strong>rest<\/strong> at night.<\/p>\n\n<p>Generally speaking, people with skin prone to neurodermatitis should <strong>wear<\/strong> comfortable <strong>clothing<\/strong>. Soft materials such as <strong>cotton<\/strong> protect children&#8217;s sensitive skin from repeated irritation.  <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. apply cream regularly<\/h2>\n\n<p>To alleviate <strong>the symptoms of atopic dermatitis<\/strong>, <strong>applying<\/strong> moisturizing and moisturizing skin care products should be part of your daily <strong>routine<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>These can be lotions, <strong>creams<\/strong> or <strong>ointments<\/strong>. The respective product should be adapted to the individual skin type and current condition of the patient&#8217;s skin.  <\/p>\n\n<p>While highly oily creams are helpful in winter, it is better to use products with a <strong>higher<\/strong> <strong>water content<\/strong> in summer. In addition, special additives such as <strong>urea<\/strong> or <strong>cortisone<\/strong> can alleviate neurodermatitis symptoms.  <\/p>\n\n<p>If atopic dermatitis is present in babies and toddlers, the pediatrician will usually recommend a <strong>suitable<\/strong> cream. The attending <strong>physician<\/strong> will also provide additional <strong>tips<\/strong> on how to treat the symptoms of atopic eczema.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. cool compresses to relieve itching<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kuehle-umschlaege-juckreiz-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"3 Cool compresses to relieve itching\" class=\"wp-image-1371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kuehle-umschlaege-juckreiz-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kuehle-umschlaege-juckreiz-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kuehle-umschlaege-juckreiz-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kuehle-umschlaege-juckreiz-769x513.jpg 769w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kuehle-umschlaege-juckreiz-412x275.jpg 412w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kuehle-umschlaege-juckreiz-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kuehle-umschlaege-juckreiz.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p><strong>Cold<\/strong> is an effective method of relieving itching as it temporarily numbs the nerve endings. It is best to place cooled cloths soaked in black tea or camomile tea on the affected areas of skin. The <strong>tea<\/strong> has an <strong>antibacterial effect<\/strong> and <strong>dries out<\/strong> the inflamed skin area.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is always advisable to keep a cold compress in the fridge, wrap it in a cloth if necessary and use it to cool the itchy area for <strong>a maximum of<\/strong> 15 minutes.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Itching and redness can be treated quickly and children&#8217;s sensitive skin is soothed, especially after an acute <strong>attack of<\/strong> <strong>neurodermatitis<\/strong>. A real insider tip for atopic dermatitis in small children.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/?p=4863\">What helps against itching? 5 tips on how to calm pruritus!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. the right choice of clothes<\/h2>\n\n<p>Clothing for atopic dermatitis should irritate the skin as little as possible and therefore have a soft surface without scratchy areas. It should <strong>not<\/strong> be made of <strong>wool<\/strong> <strong>or<\/strong> <strong>synthetic fibers<\/strong>, as these often trigger allergic reactions and acute flare-ups.  <\/p>\n\n<p>For <strong>sporting<\/strong> activities, it is advisable to wear <strong>breathable<\/strong> clothing, which is available from specialist retailers. <strong>Sweat<\/strong> can also <strong>irritate<\/strong> the skin and cause itching. This mainly affects older children and adolescents who suffer from atopic dermatitis.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. trim fingernails regularly<\/h2>\n\n<p>It is particularly important to <strong>trim<\/strong> your child&#8217;s <strong>fingernails<\/strong> regularly and make sure they stay short. This is particularly important for young children. Scratching can cause small wounds on the already damaged skin.  <\/p>\n\n<p>This makes it easier for <strong>harmful substances<\/strong> to penetrate the skin and, in the worst case, cause skin infections. If the fingernails are short, the little neurodermatitis patients can scratch themselves, but injure the skin less and agonizing neurodermatitis symptoms and redness are reduced.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. wash new clothes first<\/h2>\n\n<p>Especially for <strong>babies<\/strong> with atopic dermatitis, any form of <strong>chemical<\/strong> in direct contact with <strong>sensitive<\/strong> skin is poison. New garments are usually specially treated during production so that <strong>residues<\/strong> are still present in the fabric when they are <strong>purchased<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>It is therefore <strong>essential to<\/strong> <strong>wash<\/strong> your <strong>new<\/strong> <strong>clothes<\/strong> before wearing them to avoid contact with allergens. However, it is essential to <strong>avoid<\/strong> <strong>detergents<\/strong> with <strong>aggressive<\/strong> washing substances and dyes. For a gentle treatment of baby&#8217;s delicate skin, it is better to use fragrance-free products or at least products <strong>with<\/strong> only <strong>a little<\/strong> <strong>perfume<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. showering instead of bathing<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kind-duschen-statt-baden-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Showering instead of bathing\" class=\"wp-image-1375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kind-duschen-statt-baden-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kind-duschen-statt-baden-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kind-duschen-statt-baden-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kind-duschen-statt-baden-769x513.jpg 769w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kind-duschen-statt-baden-412x275.jpg 412w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kind-duschen-statt-baden-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-kind-duschen-statt-baden.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>It is better to <strong>give<\/strong> a child or baby with atopic dermatitis a <strong>warm<\/strong> <strong>shower<\/strong> than a hot bath. A bath only further dehydrates the already dry skin.  <\/p>\n\n<p>When bathing or showering, make sure that the <strong>water<\/strong> is <strong>not<\/strong> <strong>too<\/strong> <strong>hot<\/strong>. Otherwise this will increase itching and dry out the skin. <strong>Do not<\/strong> <strong>rub<\/strong> your child&#8217;s skin <strong>dry<\/strong> after the bath. This stresses the skin and exacerbates the symptoms of neurodermatitis.  <\/p>\n\n<p>It is best to carefully <strong>dab<\/strong> the <strong>water<\/strong> off with a <strong>towel<\/strong> to protect the sensitive skin.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What else relieves itching with atopic dermatitis?  <\/h2>\n\n<p>Scratching until it bleeds is <strong>not<\/strong> a <strong>good<\/strong> idea, especially with <strong>atopic dermatitis<\/strong>, but is usually difficult to explain to small children. In addition to the <a href=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/neurodermitis-wissen\/behandlung-kinder-baby\/\" title=\"Treatment of neurodermatitis in children\">typical treatment methods for atopic dermatitis<\/a>, there are <strong>other<\/strong> <strong>ways<\/strong> to relieve acute itching and reduce the <strong>symptoms<\/strong> <strong>of atopic dermatitis<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The <strong>use<\/strong> of <strong>phages<\/strong> is a special tip for neurodermatitis. The approach focuses on the weakened and imbalanced skin microbiome.<\/p>\n\n<p>Infections should be prevented or at least better <strong>controlled<\/strong> through the <strong>use<\/strong> of <strong>bacteriophages<\/strong> by stabilizing and strengthening the <strong>bacterial<\/strong> <strong>colonization<\/strong> on the skin.  <\/p>\n\n<p>We at Sanubiom have developed products to support the treatment of neurodermatitis.  <\/p>\n\n<p>With special bacterial nutrients in our products, phages are designed to restore microbial skin balance, reduce itching and restore lost quality of life for you and your child.
