Eczema is a chronic itchy skin condition that appears in about 10-15% of children, most often within their first six months. It shows up as patches of red or dry skin. While it may appear just about anywhere on a baby’s body, it most often occurs on the cheeks, scalp, and at the joints of their arms and legs. Fortunately, most children’s skin will improve by age 5 or 6.
Taking good care of your child’s skin and avoiding triggers can help treat and prevent flare-ups. Here are three tips that can help.
