Introduction
Introduction Infant eczema scarring is a symptom of the clinical acute phase of infant eczema. Inftile eczema (infantileeczema) is a common allergic skin inflammation caused by internal and external factors. The lesions are pleomorphic lesions dominated by herpes, with a tendency to exude, repeated attacks, alternating between acute and chronic phases, with severe itching. The cause of eczema is complicated, the most important of which is the allergic factor, so children with a family history of allergies are more likely to develop eczema. The main cause is intolerance or allergies to food, inhalation or contact.

The cause of infantile eczema scarring:
The cause of infantile eczema is more complicated, and its incidence is related to a variety of internal and external factors, and sometimes it is difficult to determine the specific cause. Children often take allergic factors such as fish, shrimp, beef and mutton, eggs and other food allergens from the digestive tract, causing type I allergic reactions in the body. The high incidence of infant eczema is mainly due to the thin skin layer of the skin, the abundant capillary network, and the rich water content of the endothelium and chloride, which is prone to allergic reactions. In addition, mechanical friction such as saliva and milk spills are often irritating and are also the cause of the disease. Improper care, such as excessive use of strong alkaline soap, excessive nutrition, and abnormal fermentation in the intestines can also cause the disease. Some babies, especially in the neonatal period, are prone to seborrheic eczema due to the increase in the sebum of the newborn due to the transmission of maternal estrogen to the fetus through the placenta.
Some babies have a genetic allergy (ectopic quality), family also has a history of atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis, asthma or allergic rhinitis, children with food allergies, blood IgE values increased, eosinophils increased. With age, skin damage is gradually limited to the flexor of the extremities (elbow fossa, armpits), often severe itching, repeated unhealed, until childhood or even extend to adulthood. Some external factors such as sunlight, ultraviolet light, cold, damp heat and other physical factors, contact with silk or rayon, topical drugs and skin bacterial infections can cause eczema or aggravate its condition.

Differential diagnosis
Identification of symptoms that are easily confused with infantile eczema scarring:
1. Infant enthusiasm: The lice are often found in hot and humid summers. The reason is that the sweat is around the sweat glands, and the patients are mostly obese infants or children.

In addition to the difficulty around the nose and mouth, the two cheeks can be seen with symmetrical small grain size red papules, small blisters and erythema, edema of the basement, exudation of flaky sputum, thick yellow liquid sputum. Due to common bleeding from scratching, there is a yellow-brown soft suede. After peeling off the skin, it reveals a bright red and wet surface, which is granular and the surface is prone to bleeding. If left untreated, it can spread to the trunk, limbs and body, and can be infected.
