What causes neonatal eczema?
Neonatal eczema is a common skin disease, most of which manifests as skin redness, swelling, blistering, exudation, itching and other symptoms, which seriously affects the baby\’s quality of life. There are many causes of neonatal eczema, which will be elaborated on from several perspectives below.
Genetic factors
Scientists have found that the incidence of neonatal eczema is related to family history. If family members have allergic diseases such as eczema, asthma or hay fever, the risk of eczema in the newborn will be greatly increased. This is because allergies are hereditary diseases, and inherited genes have a direct impact on the incidence.
At the same time, the baby\’s fetal period before birth may also be affected by the mother\’s allergies. During the fetal period, the immune system has begun to form, so the diet and living habits of pregnant women have a certain impact on the development of the child\’s immune system. A recent study shows that during pregnancy, the baby receives the mother\’s E. coli through the umbilical cord blood, which helps the baby\’s immune system develop well and reduces the risk of allergic diseases such as eczema.
Environmental factors
The environment plays an important role in the incidence of neonatal eczema. Research has found that various harmful substances, such as second-hand smoke, dust mites, molds and various air pollutants, can have a negative impact on the immune system and nervous system of newborns, leading to an increase in the incidence of neonatal eczema. In addition, the baby\’s sleeping environment, feeding methods, living habits, etc. will also affect the baby\’s immune status, which in turn will increase the incidence of neonatal eczema.
Intrauterine environmental factors
The intrauterine environment is the initial environment for baby development, and its environmental factors have an impact on the baby\’s health. For example, the mother\’s nutritional status, endocrine status, infection status, etc. will affect the baby\’s immune system, metabolism and other aspects of health. During pregnancy, mothers should pay attention to maintaining their own physical condition to ensure the healthy and orderly growth of their babies. Preventing the adverse effects of intrauterine environmental factors on the baby also plays an important role in controlling the incidence of neonatal eczema.
Factors of individual differences in babies
Individual differences in babies are also one of the reasons for the increased incidence of neonatal eczema. Due to the complex cell interactions during the baby\’s embryonic development, it may lead to insufficient or abnormal development of the baby\’s immune system, making the baby\’s body react more strongly to external stimuli, thus causing the onset of neonatal eczema. This also shows that the prevention and treatment of neonatal eczema depends on many factors and requires personalized treatment based on the individual differences of the baby.
Summary:
In general, the onset of neonatal eczema is caused by a variety of reasons, among which genetic factors, environmental factors, intrauterine environmental factors and individual differences in babies are all factors that have a direct or indirect impact on the increased incidence of neonatal eczema. . When preventing and treating neonatal eczema, it is necessary to approach it from multiple angles, focusing on individualized treatment that varies from person to person.
