A few days ago, we took stock of ways to prevent mosquito bites.
Many mothers said, [I learned the way to repel mosquitoes, but I was bitten accidentally. Should I use what to relieve itching? ]
In the comment area of the article, there are the most mothers who ask incomparable questions. There are more than 1,000 people who want to see clove mothers say something about this product.
Incomparable drops claim to be the net red in summer after being applied [1 second to relieve itching]. Almost every mother will prepare a bottle for her child.
Is incomparable drop really as useful as legend? Is it suitable for children?
Today we invited dermatologist Mr. Yuan Chao to give us a good talk.
The net is so popular that it can be sold everywhere.
Incomparable drops are produced in Japan and are said to be able to treat redness, itching, pain and other discomfort after mosquito bites.
When it came to our country, this product was even more [red to purple]. Without a bottle of incomparable drops, mothers simply felt that there was no way to spend the summer at ease.
On the major e-commerce platforms, it is a well-established explosion model, with thousands of sales in a casual store.
In the circle of friends of purchasing agents, it is an evergreen product. If a Japanese purchasing agent has not sold incomparable drops, he is simply not a qualified purchasing agent.
In convenience stores, it is a frequent visitor, regardless of whether it is true or false, but it is always placed in a particularly conspicuous position anyway.
It is really no exaggeration to say that incomparable drops are explosions.
It occupies the sight of my mother everywhere and is definitely the most popular product.
Can the net be extremely red and really relieve itching in 1 second?
Although sales are extremely hot, when it comes to antipruritic effects, mothers are afraid to be disappointed.
Incomparable drops are divided into adult version and children version.
The active ingredients of the adult version mainly include diphenhydramine hydrochloride, menthol and camphor.
Many parents will drop the adult version to their children, but menthol and camphor contained in the adult version are neurotoxic and very dangerous to children.
The children’s version only retains diphenhydramine hydrochloride and adds skin care ingredient B5.
What is diphenhydramine hydrochloride?
It is a classic antihistamine, which dermatologists usually use to treat various allergic symptoms.
Oral administration of such drugs can achieve the purpose of relieving itching by inhibiting the central nervous system.
However, like incomparable drops, the antipruritic effect of applying antihistamine is actually very limited, and it may also cause local irritant dermatitis.
Therefore, clinically, dermatologists will never use external antihistamines to treat mosquito bites.
In addition, in the United States, it is a consensus not to use external antihistamines for children under 2 years old.
On the website of the National Medical Library of the United States, it is clearly marked that diphenhydramine is not used externally for children under 2 years old.
Although the dosage of diphenhydramine for external use is small enough to cause harm, it is still not recommended for children for caution.
What’s more, ordinary mosquito bites will slowly get better even if they are not treated. There is no need to take risks to give children external antihistamines.
For example, Benadryl Antipruritic Cream in the United States is also an antipruritic drug similar to incomparable drops. Its main ingredients are diphenhydramine hydrochloride and zinc acetate with skin care effect.
On the product description, it is clearly marked that it is suitable for children over 2 years old. Even adults and children over 2 years old, it is recommended to apply it no more than 3 to 4 times a day.
To be on the safe side, for children under the age of 2, try not to use incomparable drops. If you want to use them after the age of 2, you should also pay attention to the number of times and cannot use them indefinitely.
Therefore, we have saved another sum of money for our mother who hasn’t bought a lot of money yet.
The mother who has already bought it also doesn’t need to regret it. I can’t use it myself. Although it’s useless, it’s cool and cold to paint it on ice. It’s worth 70 or 80 yuan to buy a psychological comfort.
I was really bitten by mosquitoes. I don’t need to find domestic drugs to solve the problem.
It is inevitable to be bitten by mosquitoes in summer. If it is extremely useless, what should the child do if he is bitten?
To help children relieve itching, the first choice for dermatologists is calamine lotion with safe ingredients.
Calamine and zinc oxide contained in calamine lotion can not only astringe skin moisture, but also have anti-inflammatory and calming effects, and can play a good antipruritic effect.
More importantly, calamine is safe and can be used repeatedly even by children.
If the child’s mosquito bag has a large area and obvious thickening and itching after being bitten, it can also be relieved by applying hydrocortisone butyrate cream on the basis of local rash cold compress.
If parents are really not at ease, babies over 2 years old can also take over-the-counter antihistamines such as diphenhydramine hydrochloride orally for a short period of time under the advice of doctors to help their children recover.
The child was bitten by mosquitoes, and the domestic drugs were completely sufficient. It was not only unnecessary, but also risky for the child to use them.
Some parents will say that after reading the article, they understand the truth, but what should children do if they just want to scratch?
One of the ultimate secrets of coaxing babies tells you to pinch a cross on the big bag to relieve itching in minutes. Do you believe me to give your baby a try?
