Does My Baby Have Eczema-Prone Skin?

Eczema-prone skin is one of the four skin types recognized in babies. It impacts one out of five children. If your little one has this skin type, you'll likely notice one or more of the following symptoms: • Dry, scaly area • Itchy skin • Inflammation • Discolored patches (typically red) • Small bumps • Flakiness • Open sores • Rough to the touch While the symptoms could appear anywhere on the body, eczema is especially common on the face and in skin folds, such as the neck and back of the knees. Eczema often flares up due to specific triggers, such as harsh chemicals, environmental factors, or your child's diet.

How Can I Help My Baby's Itchy Skin?

If your baby has eczema-prone skin, they will likely experience intense itching. It can be so bad that it affects their sleep. To make matters worse, if they scratch the itchy area, their fingernails can further irritate the skin, leading to more inflammation. It can be a vicious cycle. To help soothe the itch, apply a thick emollient twice daily during eczema flare-ups. Look for one made from natural ingredients, like our Stelatopia Intense Eczema Relief. Its fragrance-free formula delivers moisturizing relief for up to 24 hours. You'll also want to trim your child's nails to minimize scratching. Covering their hands with soft, cotton mittens can also help.

What Can I Do To Manage My Child's Eczema?

Unfortunately, there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for eczema. The best treatment for one person may not work well for another. It all depends on the severity of symptoms, individual triggers, and any underlying conditions. That said, here are some general guidelines that can help you manage your child's (or your) eczema symptoms: • Identify triggers that cause flare-ups and avoid them as much as possible • Select fragrance-free skincare products • Keep baths short • Only use lukewarm water • Apply an emollient cream immediately after baths If your child's symptoms are severe, talk to their doctor about their eczema. They may recommend prescription-strength medication for more immediate relief.
