First, a bit of background on the skin condition. Wondering what does baby eczema look like? Skin affected by baby eczema (also called Atopic Dermatitis) can look red, inflamed, dry, and usually shows within the first six months of a baby’s life. Baby eczema on face value can seem worrying but, with care, symptoms can disappear as a child grows older.
This irritated skin is only the half of it – some baby eczema causes skin to become uncomfortably itchy, too. In fact, itchiness can cause 83% of children with baby eczema to have trouble sleeping. This is bad news for their skin barrier, which becomes weaker when your baby scratches, causing moisture loss and exposure to irritants. Needless to say, this cycle is often stressful on parents.
Now over to Dr. Mona and Dr. Kavita for their top eczema care tips.
