NO!! We are not talking about infidelity and how to tame an unfaithful spouse.

What we are talking about is how to stop your child from scratching themselves. Of course, scratching is a normal reaction whenever there’s an itch. However, scratching excessively could damage the skin and might be attributed to certain skin disorders.

Does your child have sensitive skin?

The first thing you ought to find out is if your child has sensitive skin. No doubt, it is not easy to determine if he or she is merely experiencing normal itches or suffering from the effects of having sensitive skin.

Common causes of sensitive skin include: –

  • Dry skin
  • Rashes
  • Allergic
  • Mosquito bites

If left untreated, these skin conditions might lead to risk of infections.

How to stop them from scratching

Telling them to stop, is easier said than done. Fortunately, there are other methods that you can adopt.

Here are some tips to help your child avoid scratching.

Use Cold Pack

Use Cold Packs

Pressing a cold pack, ice pack or cold water bottle can help to ease the itchiness. While the use of a cold pack provides a quick fix, it is not a permanent solution.

Create Distraction

Creating a distraction such as giving them something to play with – preferably things that require them to use their hands – can help to divert their attention from the itch. This method may be useful on younger children but not on older kids as the latter might be too smart to fall for your tricks!

Trim Their Nails

Trimming or filing your child’s fingernails ensures that only their fingertips come into contact with the skin, thus, reducing damages to the skin whenever they have the urge to scratch.

Give a warm bath

One of the best times of the day for your child is when they get to enjoy a good bath. The key is to use lukewarm water – not too hot, not too cold – for 10 to 15 minutes. After their bath, don’t forget to pat them dry gently and do not rub.

Wear the right clothes

Clothes that are made of wool or synthetic fabric materials, such as nylon and polyester, can cause your child to feel hot, sweaty and itchy. Furthermore, do note that some textile dyes for clothing can trigger skin irritation as these may bleed onto the skin and cause an allergic reaction.

Get them to wear clothing made of 100% cotton instead as it is soft and gentle on the skin, cool and breathable, and great at absorbing sweat. Light coloured clothes are also preferred as these generally contain less dye.

Use gentle cleansers

Some soaps and shampoos contain chemical irritants that may trigger skin irritation. Look for cleansers that are free from colourants, parabens, sulfate, fragrance and preservatives.

Before using a new cleanser, try applying a small amount to a patch of your child’s skin & see if it causes any irritation.

Apply itch-relief cream

Itch relief creams work by blocking the effects of histamine, which is a chemical in the body that causes itching. A good itch relief cream should be able to not only restore the skin’s barrier but also provide a moisturising effect to keep skin hydrated.
