What is eczema?
A common skin disease, adult eczema and baby eczema come in different forms: contact eczema, atopic eczema or infectious eczema. The most common form is called atopic dermatitis which results in very dry and scaly skin leaving red patches on the skin. This dryness weakens the protective skin barrier which makes the skin sensitive to external allergens.
The main area where baby eczema develops is the face. We then see red patches appear on the forehead, chin and cheeks. In older children, eczema forms in the folds of the skin on the wrists, elbows, thighs and knees.
Symptoms and causes of eczema
This inflammatory disease, although benign, remains very uncomfortable, especially in infants and babies. Indeed, eczema generally develops on several parts of the body and causes severe itching .
It manifests itself in the form of flare-ups and makes baby irritable causing crying and squirming which disrupts sleep and eating.
In most cases, eczema results from atopic skin . Very dry, baby's skin is devoid of its protective film. It therefore no longer acts as a barrier against external allergens which enter the body and cause allergic reactions.
In short, eczema flare-ups can have their origins at the hereditary level. A child whose one parent has atopic dermatitis has a 50% risk in addition to reporting eczema .
How to prevent eczema?
Although difficult to understand, there are nevertheless simple actions to minimize the appearance of atopic dermatitis and reduce attacks:

Since eczema is usually an allergic reaction, it is essential to pay attention to your baby's diet. If eczema flare-ups appear after eating a particular food, you should consult your doctor to assess whether it is a food allergy .

What treatment should I use to treat baby eczema?
When your baby suffers from eczema , it is important to make an appointment with your doctor to identify the cause of this skin disease . As a general rule, the medical profession offers treatments based on corticosteroids to be applied as local care.
Cortisone-based creams relieve itching and fight inflammation effectively. However, their actions act at the moment T, but do not allow the problem to be addressed in depth. In short, cosmetics based on corticosteroids dry out the already very fragile skin and often contain ingredients that babies should avoid, such as endocrine disruptors.
