• Address the need of your child’s skin condition by using specialised bath-care products.
• Use only specialised eczema care lotion,balm or ointment for your child after every bath or whenever necessary
• Dress your child in soft fabrics that breathe easily,like cotton, and use soft sheets in the crib and/or bed.
• Keep your child’s nails trimmed to avoid injuries due to scratching and consider soft cotton gloves at night to prevent scratching.
• Wash any new clothing with gentle laundry detergents to get rid of any chemicals that may have been used in the manufacturing process.
• Work with your doctor to assess if a food allergy is the cause of your child’s eczema.This usually means making a systematic effort to eliminate common allergens from your child’s diet,such as cow’s milk or eggs.

As many parents have found out,treating eczema is one thing,and avoiding flare-ups is another thing altogether!once you have gotten your child’s eczema under control, you should steer clear of the factors that can cause it to flare back up again.

Don’t:

• Use hot water in baths
• Use bubble bath
