Eczema What is eczema Eczema is a rash that appears on the face, behind the knees and on the inner sides of the arms and wrists. It is an itchy, dry and scaly rash. In a very bad case, it may ooze profusely. It can be caused by a cold, a sleepless night or an upset stomach. Infantile eczema is often linked to asthma. They are both allergic conditions and are very likely to be hereditary. What is the treatment for eczema The first thing to do is to consult
a dermatologist. He will probably prescribe some mild creams and ointments
that you should apply to the affected areas. You can follow certain steps
in the daily care of your baby. Do not use too much soap and water as this
dries the skin. Instead, you could use cotton wool soaked in baby lotion.
Be very particular about hygiene, especially in the diaper area and the
face. Remember that wool irritates the skin and can aggravate eczema.
