嬰兒濕疹
楊惟婷整理
一、何謂嬰兒溼疹?
簡單地說，溼疹是一種內因性或是皮膚受到外界刺激所引起的表皮反應。表皮的反應過程中，會製造一些因子刺激皮膚中的神經纖維，因而產生癢感。
尤其是嬰幼兒的皮膚相對於成人顯得較為單薄，毛髮較少，汗液與皮脂腺的分泌也較不足，因此皮膚的保護層相對地減了很多，於是各種物理、化學或生物性的刺激使可能傷害到嬰兒的皮膚了！
嬰兒的溼疹，在出生兩、三星期即可能第一次發作，特別出現於雙頰或頭頸部，皮膚上有淡紅或紅色丘疹或斑點、腫脹及小泡，看起來有點爛爛的或滲出物。此謂之嬰兒溼疹或異位性溼疹，
嬰兒溼疹大多是家族性過敏體質造成，並不是許多家長自認為的「寒風刮到的」。當然，也有不少嬰兒溼疹會隨年齡自然痊癒。
但有些人在臉頰消失了，三、四歲後，卻轉移到上肢的雙肘肘窩(即手彎曲的部位)及後膝窩，甚至四肢外側皮膚及手腳掌，嚴重者全身到處可以見到。
皮膚摸起來一粒粒、粗粗的，許多人常以「粗皮」兩字來形容。
溼疹的地方變厚，有的有鱗屑、乾裂、摻水、結痂，並且非常癢。
二、常見嬰兒溼疹的種類
以下介紹一些較常出現在嬰幼兒身上的溼疹類疾病與處理方法：
1、嬰兒臉部溼疹：
由於新生兒及嬰兒的皮脂保護層分泌不足，在溫度、溼度較低的環境下無法適應，因此在冬天常可見到許多小寶寶臉上紅通通的，皮膚表面乾而粗糙，甚至會有脫屑或是皸裂的現象；因此保護之道當給予足夠的油脂保護層，即視情況輕重給予嬰兒油或凡士林類油膏的塗抹，並減少暴露於冷空氣中。
2、對磨疹：
相對於嬰兒臉部濕疹，對磨疹則好發於溫度較高的環境，主要原因是汗液聚積於容易磨擦的屈側關節，如脖子、腋下或腹股溝等處，高溫、潮溼再加上磨擦頻率較高而使患處皮膚產生紅斑、丘疹，嚴重時甚至併發念珠菌感染。
對磨疹好發於無法自由活動的襁褓中嬰兒，以及體重較重的胖寶寶，因此隨時保持彎曲處皮膚的乾燥、涼爽是最佳預防之道，不要因怕小寶寶感冒而給予層層衣物的包裹，高溫易流汗時，應隨時準備溼冷毛巾擦拭，尤其是小胖子更應特別注意。
3、痱子：
由於幼兒的汗腺尚未完全成熟，因此排汗時很容易造成汗孔阻塞而有汗液滯留的現象發生。幾乎每個小朋友都長過痱子，天熱時溫度溼度高會長，天涼時怕小孩感冒，包裹的像粽子似地，也會長痱子。
痱子看似小毛病，但卻會造成奇癢，有時汗液阻塞較厲害或發炎反應較強時，也會有大的丘疹或膿包出現，而若過度搔抓亦可能導致其他微生物的感染。因此，選擇輕便吸汗佳的衣物，用空調保持適當的溫溼度是預防及治療痱子的重要步驟。
4、尿布疹：
幾乎每個嬰兒都發生過程度不一的尿布疹，也因此幾乎每一父母都曾為小寶寶的紅屁股而傷透腦筋。
造成尿布疹的可能因素很多，尿布的材質，個人的體質，尿液的滯留、局部的微生物等都會相互影響。
最近的研究卻發現氨與尿布疹並無直接關係，反而是尿液被細菌分解後使局部環境的酸鹼值（即ｐＨ值）提高，而使糞便中一些效素活性升高，因而刺激皮膚所致。
當然，不用尿布便不會有尿布疹，但在目前的社會環境中這似乎是個天方夜譚。因此選擇尿布或尿片應慎選材質，減少材料本身引起的過敏，此外，吸收力佳的尿布，能將尿液與糞便儘可能隔離也可減少尿布疹發生的機率。而勤換尿片保持局部乾爽，則是最重要的步驟。
值得注意的是，念珠菌感染也常因使用的局部藥膏不適當而引發；所以，有問題應請教醫師，切莫拿小寶寶的皮膚當試驗品！
5、脂漏性皮膚炎：
我們也常看到在嬰兒的頭上有一些黃色的鱗屑，這些鱗屑與頭皮有一定的黏著度而不易去除，有時甚至連結成一大片黃色的油狀斑塊覆蓋住整個頭部。相同的鱗屑也會出現在眉毛、臉頰、耳朵附近或是手肘、腹股溝等屈關節處，有時底下還會出現紅斑。這便是常發生於嬰兒的脂漏性皮膚炎。
由於絕大部分的嬰兒患者會於一歲內自癒，而且病灶多不具癢感，因此並不需要太積極的治療。
對於頭上鱗屑的去除，可增加洗頭的頻率，並在洗髮時給予輕輕的按摩與梳理，對於較厚的油屑則可加用礦物油或凡士林類油膏幫助軟化後，用梳子輕輕去除，而對於較嚴重的紅斑或不易去除的油屑，則需由醫師診治。
6、蚊蟲螫咬症：
台灣夏季溼熱，蚊蟲滋生速度快。由於蚊蟲叮咬人體後，其分泌物或蟲體本身會引發過敏反應，因而引起局部紅色丘疹，或是如風疹塊般的突起，而中間的叮咬部位常會出現小紅點或是小水包。
由於蚊蟲螫咬的反應在幼兒較為厲害，且治療上並無速效的方法可馬上止癢，為避免寶寶過度搔抓引發後遺症，最好的方法還是減少露出部位，必要時可事先用防止蟲咬的藥劑，塗抹於露出部位，免得小朋友的手腳一不小心便成“紅豆冰”！
7、接觸性皮膚炎：
接觸性皮膚炎的發生必須有二個條件，一是必須有機會接觸到過敏原，二是身體的免疫系統必須經過一段時間的“醞釀”，才會使皮膚再接觸到過敏原時產生反應。
而對嬰幼兒，需要一段時間的成長期以便接觸各種可能的過敏原，因此接觸性皮膚炎發生的機率較低。
8、異位性皮膚炎：
異位性皮膚炎的皮疹也是屬於濕疹的變化，只是要診斷這個疾病需要符合幾個條件：一是它必須是慢性，反覆再發且具癢感的皮疹，其次它有特定的好發部位，如二歲前皮疹易出現在臉、腹及四肢外側關節處，在二歲之後則會慢慢轉移到頸部及四肢屈側關節處；第三則是病童或家族內有過敏性疾病，如過敏性鼻炎、氣喘或是異位性皮膚炎。因此若臨床症候不足以診斷異位性皮膚炎時，醫師會告訴家長小朋友得了溼疹，或是本身是過敏性或異位性體質，所以皮膚比較敏感。
一旦確定診斷為異位性皮膚炎，等於宣判了幾年的“有期徒刑”；小孩與父母都得經歷一段艱辛的“抗戰”過程。動輒得“癢”，是這個病的特徵，太熱、太冷、太溼、太乾，皮膚馬上拉警報，汗一流多衣服材質不對，海鮮、蛋白質吃太多，渾身就不對勁；一有病痛、情緒緊張，皮膚也跟著遭殃，因此不管是襁褓中的嬰兒、學步的嬰幼兒及在學的小朋友，一有機會就“抓、抓、抓”，抓不到的地方身體就會蹭來蹭去，藉磨擦以解癢感，所以全身散布了抓痕、丘疹、水包，甚至苔癬化病變便是這類小孩的共同特徵！
由於異位性皮膚炎少輒一、二年，拖個十年、八年也是常事，少部分還會持續到青少年期甚至成人，因此父母照顧起來也就倍感艱辛！
雖然醫界不停地在尋找新的治療方法，但到目前為止還不能有效地改變或縮短其病程。
三、「過敏三部曲」
異位性溼疹、氣喘病、過敏性鼻炎這三種病，常被稱為「過敏三部曲」。
患嬰兒溼疹的小兒，長大後容易變成過敏兒，估計有四分之一到二分之一會發生氣喘病及過敏性鼻炎。因此在嬰兒期有此變化者，家長宜長期注意追蹤其過敏變化，並盡量避免其過敏發作。
有時同一個人三種病都有，有的在嬰兒期為溼疹，四、五歲後，變作氣喘、而溼疹已好轉，青春期或成人後則常有過敏性鼻炎困擾，但氣喘發作較少。
異位性溼疹與家族遺傳極有關係。病人的家族中，常可發現有相同的病症，而經血液檢查也可得知一種「免疫球蛋白E」濃度特高；而且白血球中的「嗜伊紅性球」比率也增加。由這些證據可以知道，異位性溼疹與家族遺傳極有關係。
四、減少「非過敏因子」誘發
由於溼疹是表皮受刺激而產生的變化，因此不管是內在或外在的因素，只要能影響到表皮細胞的都有可能產生溼疹反應。
家族中有過敏病史，特別是已知老大有過敏體質，老二就該餵至少三個月的母乳，可能可以減少過敏。因為三、四個月內嬰兒的腸，對外來蛋白質較敏感，而配方奶中多含動物性蛋白質，喝下即可穿透腸膜，刺激產生免疫反應，促發溼疹，及以後其他過敏症之產生。如在前六個月都盡量以母乳哺育，由於人奶幾乎不會引發嬰兒過敏，等到出生六個月後。胃腸機能強健後，此時再喝含動物蛋白質的奶水，就比較不致有過敏發生了。
不過，除了過敏因子外，一些「非過敏因子」也對溼疹扮演了促進、引發、惡化的角色，比如刺激性食物、陽光過度曝曬、毛織品衣褲或毛毯、某些清潔劑或肥皂，甚至空氣中的植物孢子、灰塵、璊等微生物皆可能刺激皮膚產生濕疹。
因此除了動物性蛋白質食品，如鮮奶、海產類、蛋等要避免外，一些香料、食物添加物、防腐劑或刺激性調味料辣椒等，都該避開少吃。
另外，特別溼熱易令人流汗滿身，或冷而乾的天氣對病人的溼疹病情也有不良影響。不要穿著毛織品衣物，內衣要易吸汗通風的材質。
平時，洗澡避免使用帶刺激性的肥皂，盡量減短洗澡時間，也不要使用過熱的水，少接觸洗衣粉、清潔劑等化學品。
經常剪短指甲並多洗手，以免不經意抓破皮，讓細菌侵入皮膚。
五、耐心、毅力及找對醫生最重要
溼疹跟香港腳一樣難纏，能不能根治，要看個人的耐心與毅力，及能不能配合醫生的診療。
在皮膚保養、治療方面：
1、減少洗澡的次數，水溫不要太熱，以淋浴為主，並避免泡澡。
2、減少使用肥皂及消毒水，因為它會使皮脂流失，可以使用適合敏感性膚質的清潔用品或沐浴乳。
3、洗完澡後趁皮膚還充滿水分時，立刻擦保濕潤膚乳液，使皮膚有一層保護膜，防止水分散失並保持肌膚滋潤。
4、貼身衣物應選用棉質產品，避免羊毛的織物等易刺激皮膚的物質，直接接觸皮膚。
5、用什麼保養品來保養呢？保養霜或乳液可分成潤膚劑及保溼劑兩大類，潤膚劑如油脂，主要作用在於填補角質細胞空缺，減少水分揮發。保溼劑則為吸收空氣或真皮的水份上來角質層，所以仍須配合油脂的使用。如果保養品使用無效，則可以可以在醫師的指示下使用適當的油性藥膏、止癢藥物或溫和的外用類固醇來治療。
6、最後要強調的是，由於溼疹類疾病多半需要使用局部類固醇藥膏，長期使用或是使用不當強度的類固醇，很可能對局部皮膚產生副作用，如皮膚萎縮、色素變化、血管擴張或是併發微生物感染等，嚴重時還可能引起全身性的副作用而影響小朋友的生長與發育，尤其是嬰幼兒的皮膚薄，吸收力佳，更不可輕易用效力太強的類固醇藥膏，因此皮膚上的任何問題，應請醫師診治後再用藥，用藥的方法與時間亦應與醫師充分的討論，切莫自行用藥或是 未經複診長期塗抹；當然，也不必過於害怕藥物的副作用而完全不敢用藥，如此反而會延誤病情。

The ailment may start from the chest vicinity and spread to other areas of the body. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include fat loss, severe deep breathing trouble, throwing up, difficulty ingesting, and bloating of the neck and face areas.
